Replacement Key Fob Case Shell Fit for Lexus ES GS GX is LS LX RX SC ES300 GX470 GS300 Keyless Entry Remote Control Key Fob Cover Housing 3 Buttons

I read a review here by someone who mentioned he/she had a tough time fitting the metal key part into the plastic sleeve (that slots into the main body) and had to use a vice, hammer, and punch to knock it into place.It is a very tight fit - as it should be. I warmed the plastic sleeve with a heat gun (a standard hair dryer would also do), slid the plastic sleeve perfectly into place, and let it cool. SUPER tight fit, no hassle. Works like a charm, with a VERY tight fit overall.I'd recommend this product to any Lexus/Toyota owner with a broken key fob casing!

It required a few tools to fit my GX470 properly. Sliding the key completely through the keeper was impossible by manually pressing it (even with the help of a blunt object). The assembly will not properly fit together unless the key is fit in the keeper all the way. So with the help of a punch, hammer, and vice after a few light taps the key was snuggly seated in the keeper (see attached pictures).

The original key fob for Lexus es 300 2003 had cracked after dropping it. I liked that it came with the mini screw driver. The front and back part fit the original just right (2024 update: the 2nd one I put needed a gentle push to fit the battery/transponder to the new one). It has the Lexus emblem like the original (2024: the 2nd didn't have the emblem. I tried to use the original one, which wasn't cracked, but it didn't fit right with the new half). The only thing that's difficult is the part where my metal key goes into. I had to put the metal key through that little piece shown in the picture. It was really tight. I was afraid I'd had to get another one in case I broke it. I needed someone else to put it through with much more force, which worked (2024: I pressed hard the small black key part with both thumbs, one on each side on the floor. I put the rubber thing I use to open jars to protect it and my thumbs I had the pointy part of the key pointing up. It still needed more push to line up screw holes. So I used the short nose plier to gently get it finally thru like the picture.

This was a great replacement for my 2008 Lexus RX-350 key fob when my old key fob cracked. When removing the metal part of the key from the old case, you may have to break off the plastic bits to release the metal tab part of the key. Slip the front plastic part over the metal tab--it will take some effort to get it all the way through. I used a small needle nose pliers to get the metal tab all the way through the front plastic piece. The rest of it goes together easy, just make sure you have the correct orientation to get the screw to go in all the way. Oh replace the battery while you have it apart!

I’m really disappointed. When I originally searched for Lexus Sc key replacement cover this item popped up. In the top of the post it shows that it fits Sc model keys. But apparently if you scroll down under models for reference the Sc isn’t listed. Now I broke my damn key cover to put in this even more cause my original one was cracked and difficult to keep together but now I have a broken key case- I can’t put back together cause I broke the plastic part where key is, and a new crappy cover that doesn’t fit the key. Everything fits except for the plastic piece that holds the key. No matter how much force is used it won’t go on completely. I have to drive this car often as battery dies quickly in it if not and now no damn key and since not essential who knows how long will take to get replacement. SOOO DISAPPOINTED. The key flares out at top and this will not fit it. Please make sure the item description accurately states what models this will work for, and that matches the referenced models at the very bottom of post cause this is now creating a huge problem for me.....

I'm glad I read the previous reviews, because I had to take this to my husband's shop for some tools. I had to do some filing on the piece the key fits into to get it to fit right in the case. I used the screw from my old one instead of the one they sent me. I don't have a Lexus dealer close to me, so this was much faster and cheaper than going to a dealer.

It works great, fits the fob perfectly.

I have a 2007 GX470 and the case broke partially. This was super easy to install & fits my key perfectly. I love that it also comes with the small screw too because mines was quite old!
