Default Key Fob Logo Replacement Alternative

If you happen to have a replacement Key Fob that has the push button logo that is of the painted Jaguar face (common with X and S type Key Fob remotes) vs the metal jaguar face (common with our XJ8) but the painted face is scratching off from use...very common problem.

I have not found a China source willing to sell just the key fob logo instead of the whole key fob, so here is a very nice alternative to make your key fob logo look new again.

Simply buy tire valve caps off Ebay and with a very very small screw driver pry up the sticker slow and carefully and it will unglue from the metal tire valve cap, then I used a little 3M contact cement with a small brush and put a very tinny amount on the fob button and on the logo back and then simply made sure the logo was stright up with the key fob closed and pushed down. The logo will perfectly center itself as it is perfectly slighly smaller than the round hole in the plastic part of the keyfob. Press, hold a litttle, and then done! Great looking key fob once again. And there are even a few choices of jaguar logos to choose from to mark your key fob your own custom key fob!
