Folks,

Does/Has anyone had a problem with their MY2013 Keyfob warping/deforming?

As per pic, the rubber "button" sheet is coming away from mine, not that it appears to have been glued down in the first place! Anyone else having this problem by any chance?

LR know it's a issue, just order a new one under warranty!

Not sure if it helps the problem but stops the silver bit coming off  Cheers Ian

I've got one of those covers as well so don't know what's going on underneath!

Mine also peeled off and was just replaced. MY2013, 2.2 TD4 SE fuji white
man. gearbox, xenon, "small" Meridian, 7" satnav, autom. aircon, RV-cam, heated jets/windscreen/seats/wheel

Update & Outcome: replaced under Warranty FOC this afternoon at Guy Salmon Coventry. No drama, professional service, excellent coffee...good dealership experience. They have a G4 Disco up on the forecourt rock display as you come up the A45...looks great in a proper pose!

The replacement is now a hard button shell, as opposed to a rubber cover, for those that were/are interested.

to the lovely Kelly at Guy Salmon Coventry, and naturally to Mike at LRCS for the advice...keep up the good work! Foraging near Gaydon....

Ours are all ok. Any pictures of the peeling  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Yes.

Tried glueing it back with Selleys Kwikgrip. It did NOT work, it made the problem worse and the rubber expanded with more of a gap between the rubber and the hard plastic. Luckily the rubber has settled down over a few days and shrunk back to what it was before, about 2 mm larger.

I barely use the car and it's new. The key sits on the shelf most of the time. So it has hardly been flogged to death!

The second key has been used about 1/2 the amount of the dodgy one and seems to be ok. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Anyone have any advice on this issue -
Just bought myself a 2013 HSE LUX with this very problem. Both keys falling apart.
Do you reckon dealers would replace mine out of warranty??

Sottish in Wales then via Yorkshire ? Replace out of warranty ? it will cost you more in fuel and phone calls.  FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
