Got mine the other day....be very careful putting it on. Mine tore slightly on the corner of the opening as it was being stretched over the fat part of the fob.

Ken,

Shoot me a PM with your order info and I will send you a free replacement.

When you put them on, you turn them inside out and then position on the FOB and pull right over top of it.

I am going to make some install instructions and post them on my site today.

Thanks,

Jim

Jim- PM sent. I didn't think to turn it inside-out....

It's because of service like this, that I recommend you to all Vette owners, and have personally placed 3 orders in the last month from you.

Happy Holidays!

Ken

How does this slip on to the fob? A C5 logo would look good on the back !

Turn it inside out, and roll it over the fob. No logo, then I have to pay GM licensing fees. Price would go up 500%..............

Thanks,

Jim

Received mine yesterday. Hope I can install without tearing. I'll do the inside out thing and see if that works. Thanks for another neat product. I love the tail light seals.

Don't know how to insert the link, but look in the forum for his report. It isn't in this thread, but it is there. Looks pretty favorable.

BTW mine arrived today, and work and look great. I feel the increase in power, but can't quite measure it. !!

Default KeyFob Review

I just received the Key Fob Protector from Southern Car Parts that was sent to me for Review.My car is a '99 so I have the Early Style Fob with the Passive Switch. The protector does fit and all the controls with the exception of the Passive Switch are accessible. The shape is slightly different along the rear with the older style being slightly deeper. The Protector is flexible so it just makes for a tighter fit. Since the early style is bulkier the overall package is bukier with the added thickness of the Protector. I find it to be no problem but some might. The Passive switch is really no problem since it can be set before the Fob is inserted in the Protector. However if you turn it on and off it would be difficult to change.
Overall I would buy one, I might even buy one for my wifes' Cadillac which uses the same Fob. She commented that it would be great in her Pocketbook so it does not rattle around against all her other stuff.
All in all a very worthwhile item.
