Life of your key fob/remote...how long does it live?

Mine used to have the rubber seal, but it started to get very loose, so I removed it. It was causing the top of the key head to pop up in the front.

At first, I thought it was the key ring putting to much pressure toward the back of the key head... but problem fixed since I removed the rubber seal. Now I just have to keep it dry!

I made a post a few months back about this very same topic. My key is draining the battery. They are definitely good batteries and then in about a week or two it just doesn't work anymore and the light gets faint. It's also not me hitting the button in my pocket. I never did get a solution to that problem and I refuse to pay that much money for a reprogramming.

sorry to bump an old thread. but this is exactly what is occurring on my remote and i'm debating on just ordering a new remote.
