You know when you want to kick yourself for not doing something sooner? Well, that is me! I have not had a working remote for at least 7months and this solved my problem in a matter of minutes. AWESOME!
AMAZING! Worked like a top on my key fob. THANKS!
Wow! This idea just saved me some money and a few headaches! It was so easy and so quick! I used Gorilla Glue, a very small amount, spread generously, and didn’t even wait 20 seconds. It worked perfectly! Thanks Trando!
OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH EASIER YOU JUST MADE MY LIFE!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Neat idea, but hopefully the glue does not come loose over time and cause a short, potentially ruining the FOB, there are replacement rubber parts available for around $6, I would order one and once it came in replace it. FOB’s are subject to a lot of heat, getting knocked around, for $6 it’s worth the peace of mind IMO..
AWESOME AWESOME! You are an angel for sharing this! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much brother!!
So easy and quick! Don’t be afraid people it’s easy and works!
I cant explain how happy I am, I wish I found this video long time ago:) you are an angel!
GM does this on purpose!! Just for more money think about it. They would just use metal tips and they know tht haha but whatever
Thanks
Beautiful… Just Beautiful!
Excellent you just saved me $75 . Thank you this worked great.
works wonders, i havent had mine working for two years did this in 5 min and it worked
thanks
you are awesome, fixed all of my bad ones !!!!!!!thanx .. but now i am furious at the dealer who wanted to rip me off and the other guy on youtube saying you must buy a new one
HOLY S! I just took some regular aluminum and it fixed my remote! you are a genuis!
Amazing – I don’t believe it, I just tried 3 different batteries and did not work, I just tried the metal muffler tape and works great, thanks for sharing, just saved me $150.00 at the dealer!
It worked perfectly! Very easy too! I had just about given up on these cheezy remotes and resigned myself to the inconvenience of not having them. Now I will think of your great advice every time I push the button and the lock pops open! Thank you!
it worked great and thank u god bless
I used aluminum foil tape that used for duct work. It works perfectly!
If this works and fixes my mom’s remote, I’ll have her make a pie for you!
Worked PERFECT!!!!! Thanks……..
Thank you very much it really works
This works! Thank you!
I just want to say you are a genius! My key fob has’nt worked in over a year. After watching this easy fix along with about 15 minutes of my time because I used super glue, I saved 200.00 that the dealership wanted to charge.
works PERFECT!! You saved me almost 200 bucks! Thanks a bunch!!
I didn’t have any good glue so stuck a dot on a folded over tape. Ir works.
You are a genius. It worked like a charm. Saved me from going to the dealership.
Both of my Pontiac G6 remotes stopped working, and haven’t worked for more than a year. Of course I changed out the batteries, but still that didn’t fix them. I just did this fix exactly as you showed, but used a tiny dot of super glue to attached the little foil dots. I can tell you first hand, this simple little trick works like a charm. Thanks a bunch, you just saved me about $100 to replace both remotes with aftermarket remotes. Awesome simple little fix. Thanks a bunch!
Great idea on using the hole punch!! I was going to try to cut out foil with scissors but that wasn’t gonna work so well. Dots are perfect size for GM Malibu 2004. I used a floss toothpick to spread the glue and apply the foil. Worked great!! Thanks
My dealer wanted 175.00 for a new fob and program. He said it was 1/2 hour labor. Your info worked to perfection. Two dots of tin foil, a little Gorilla Glue, (all I had) fob like brand-new!!!
Thanks a bunch, U R a lifesaver!
THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU you just saved me $165.00 from the dealer
This worked great for me.. What I did was use Hem tape (used for sewing). it is a very thin 2 sided tape. I stuck a piece of tape to a piece of foil, then punched out holes. I took the back off the tape, and stuck it to buttons on remote, 5 minutes later, I was off. No need to wait for glue to dry.
Wow my key fob work perfectly now thank you
I am going to try this with my Pontiac G6 key fob tonight! Thanks for the tip!
thanks this was a lifesaver! i used regular foil and it worked out great =) saved me alot of money
Fantastic! I followed your instructions for my 2008 Pontiac G6, and it works great. Good job on the video too. Do you have any idea how long the foil will last? Many thanks. I appreciate not only your expertise, but your helping nature as well.
Thanks man! Mine works like a charm now.
