Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal appearance of your GlasFlength 2 Button Car Key Case, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the key case with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these can damage the plastic and zinc alloy finish.
- Protect from Impact: While durable, avoid dropping the key case from significant heights or subjecting it to strong impacts, which could damage the internal components or the shell itself.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the key case to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or high humidity, as this may affect the material integrity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing your new key case, consider the following:
- Key Not Functioning: Ensure all internal electronic components (immobiliser, transponder chip) from your original key were transferred correctly and are securely seated in the new case.
- Buttons Not Responsive: Check if the rubber button pad (if applicable and transferred from original key) is aligned properly and not obstructed. Verify that the internal circuit board is correctly positioned.
- Case Not Closing Properly: Double-check that no components are misaligned or obstructing the closing mechanism. Ensure the key blade mechanism is correctly seated.
- Key Blade Issues: If the key blade does not flip out smoothly, ensure the spring mechanism is correctly installed and not jammed.
If problems persist, it may indicate an issue with the transferred electronic components, which are not part of the key case itself.
