The rubber buttons on our key fob are worn out/broken and its getting difficult to press the buttons. I can get hold of some Rover car fobs that appear identical - so I'm hoping to swap over the rubber bits.
I've opened our fob up, but I cant see how to remove the PCB to get to the rubber bits behind it - any ideas?
Its the early fob for a 99 L Series.

On mine, it's always been a case of gently pull, and they fall out

Thanks DD - all I did today was open it up and 2 of the3 solders on the battery clip had bust, PCB looks fragile and quite tight in - I'll give it a bit more effort, see what happens !
