Review on Premium Replacement Remote Keyless Fob Key Case (Shell) for 2012 2013 Kia Rio Soul TQ8-RKE-3F02 by Troy Tec

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Slightly different injection molded fin caused problems

Bought a 2013 Kia Rio about 6 months ago with a slightly damaged hitch. The rubber started to peel off. So I bought it to replace the rubber seal. The rubber gasket is firmly bonded to the plastic mold so I had to use the whole piece. Everything seemed to fit. I followed a YouTube video on how to switch. I could even handle a difficult situation with a computer chip. BUT this new carcass has a rib that my old carcass didn't have. They were almost accurate, but not quite. This caused problems. I trimmed and trimmed the new body to fit. Even with a screw it won't hold together after a few turns of a wrench. I ended up having to seal the whole thing with duct tape forever. with my spare driving key. and this new case is only a distant one.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Hard to tell
