PKE Remote Case
I recently purchased a 1996 Coupe and the PKE fobs are in poor shape. I have changed batteries and re-programmed them and they function perfectly. Is there a source for just the plastic case? I see that you can purchase the whole thing from GM and there are several units on eBay - but I wanted to avoid some cost.
Thanks,
Larry

If they just won't stay closed get some black multi-purpose tie wraps from Home Depot. Wrap 'em, lock 'em tight, cut off the excess tie. They work great and are barely noticable. :thumbs:
They also come in handy for loose wiring harnesses under the hood.

First of all...welcome to the forum! :seeya
But no....i've never heard of a place to get just the case...but if they still work fine, i don't see why you couldn't disassemble them and paint'm.

Re: PKE Remote Case (LJBest)
Have never seen just the empty case offered anywhere.
Perhaps this would be a good excuse to drop several thousand dollars on CNC-machined cases. In titanium........?
You'll be the talk of the next Corvette Cruze you go on!

ROCCO,
That is an EXCELLENT idea. I wonder if I had my machinist machine some cases in say polished aluminum, if everyone would buy them. That is a great idea. I'm going to check into it.
As far as the cases, good luck. When I bought my '95, the battery was dead in one of the controllers. I walked into a store to buy a new battery and as I did, I accidently dropped my remote. It shattered in pieces when it hit the ground beyond repair. I had to order a new one (since I couldn't find an aftermarket one for a convertible) for 107.00 My first expense since buying the car, I knew then what I was getting into...LOL.
The funny thing is, right after that, I replaced the carpet and found a second remote under the seat...DOH.
