Replacement 9-3 key case
Audax:
Can anyone recommend a 9-3 key case that doesn't have the plastic buttons and is a functional equivalent of the original Saab case? Our spare key is going very very sticky and is going to start falling apart soon, I'd prefer to be buying a good case so if someone can suggest one they've actually purchased and used that would be great.

Someone has recommended one over on UKSaabs in the last couple of weeks. It comes with a new (uncut) blade. I tried to find it, but I couldn't... Costs about £10
I have one that's got the proper buttons. it was fine and I replaced the cases on the old Vector. Those keys went with the car. I bought what I thought were the same cases for the Carlsson. They work OK, but they keep coming slightly apart on one side. :( Mine were about £6 each and didn't have the blade.
I replaced the sticky rubber on the 9-5 key with "Sugru". That worked well and it stayed on for over a year. When I redo it, I will key it to the body better. https://sugru.com
Audax:
Yeah, the UK Saabs thread seems to have been deleted?!
Anyhow, I did find someone on Amazon selling a key with uncut blade for about £10 on amazon but that has fairly poor reviews, the only other one I've found is on ebay: 162195348082.
I love Sugru too, I've been using it for a few years now to repair stuff. Shame it won't repair a 9-3 key case. ;)

That Sugru's interesting stuff.
Mods - maybe make this thread a sticky?
::)
Audax:
I have now ordered 162195348082 from ebay and will report back when I get it. If this doesn't work out then I think I have found another seller in Ireland who has cases with clicky buttons.
