Surprisingly, the youtube comments contain useful information, too.

    Happens a lot with car rke fobs, I usually have to replace the housings and buttons all together for a permanent fix. I tried the super glue and aluminum foil method and it temporarily works. Nothing I used to attach the aluminum to the worn button pad really results in a long term fix though (super glue, silicone, epoxy, hot glue). Is this a better solution?

      The only method that has worked okay for me is using a scalpel to cut off a layer of the silicone from the defective part, and getting a donor pad from another remote to glue it on.

      There isn’t much room for error though.
