Key - Rubber membrane
 
I been seeing several posts regarding keys, and was wondering if there is a source to purchase just a replacement rubber (silicone?) membrane for buttons. I have 2 fully functional keys, but the rubber is starting to show slight signs of age (crack, discolor), other than that, the keys are mint. Seems a shame to purchase 2 new keys just for a cosmetic fix.

Perhaps I am just being picky, but it's all in the details ya know. :)

also many copies on Chinese sites e.g https://www.aliexpress.com/item/KEYYOU-Replacement-Shell-Remote-Car-Key-Case-Fob-3-Buttons-For-Porsche-New/32829878998.html?spm=2114.search0104.8.81.x6gv8i

Thanks much! I was looking for the wrong item (just the membrane), never thought to look for the entire upper cap; nor would I have thought that the cap would be available as a seperate item. You have saved much of my time looking for something I cannot buy...lol.

Thanks again.

I would avoid the Chinese copies as the buttons are hard plastic and very difficult to press. ;)

Just as an FYI, the link provided shows for a 996, if you search their site, there is a part #986KEYBUTTON, which was somewhat confusing. I called, it's the same part, just with different part numbers.

I bought the Chinese key a while back it's not hard plastic but doesn't have the Porsche logo.
