I just snapped them back together, no real trick to it. I’m definitely sure that gorilla glue will do the trick

I also put my fob in a vise grip (trunk) and pulled it apart with my pliers (left hand). My question is: how did you put the two pieces back together? I’m thinking I might have broken some sort of plastic clasp or hook that holds the two pieces together, but before I try gorilla glue, I want to make sure I’m not missing something.

Thanks Christie! I’m glad its helping people out. I too was in the same boat with my VW. Everything with the car has been top notch, save for the damn key fab

I just bought my new to me 08 jetta 3 weeks ago and 1 1/2 weeks into it the damn thing broke. I was wondering why the dealership was pushing “key insurance” on me. I had a high end 2001 I was trading in and thought, “I had that car for a long time and never lost either key, why would I need that!?!” I complained to the dealership and soon to VW, but if they are just going to give me another shitty key I don’t want it. At least I have both in hand right now! Just drilled them and have peace of mind. I hope you know how appreciative we all are of your fix!!! THANK YOU!!! I can go back to loving my new to me car!
