broken key fobs on 2004 P2 models V70-XC70

Own (2) 2004 models with key fobs needing repair. I've been looking at the options on ebay and various posts on repairing. I'm interested to see if anyone in our collective has experience with this.

I have broken 'switchblades' (probably busted the tab on the release buttons).

If you made a repair I have questions:

1) There are used fobs and knock-offs and a huge variation in price. Which works better and are the knock-offs acceptable.
2) Did you ever remove a transponder and was it difficult.
3) Is there an easy way to open the key portion and what type of adhesive did you use to put it back together.

    Would this video be of any help?

    One of our fobs need the same repair.

      Yes. This is cool. The problem is prevalent so I thought there was experience on the board. I have to do this and buying new ones at the dealer (plus programming) is cost prohibitive.

        Keeping it running is better than buying new

          You've inspired me. I ordered the front nose piece (with the button and the spring) and I'll post the results.

        Sorry but no, I haven't tried it myself yet. If/when you try a repair yourself, let us know how it went and what advice you might have for others.
