    Okay. Seems to obviously be an issue.

    Really blown away by the packaging as mentioned in my other post. They look great @MESO

    Here's a a little comparison to the "TRD" key fob:

    Oh man, you're right... I didn't even think about after making the first fob that your second fob choice changes. This goes for the buttons too, unless 2 sets of red are ordered. Hmm..

    I just got my Cement fob and I'm having the same problem unfortunately. The bottom of the unlock button is sticking out a tiny bit higher than the other buttons and it's loose with a slight rattle. Very minor issue, but I do wish it was sitting like the other two buttons.

    (Middle finger up at USPS) Said out for delivery this morning. Now it has updated to “Held at post office at customer request”. Bitch, I did not request that. Just tell it like it is. They forgot it on the truck and did not want to come back. I even had Amazon same day deliver some panel tools so I could do the puddles tonight.

    yup I took it apart once, but I'll try again.

    DEFINITELY not a deal breaker by any means. This thing is killer!

    I took it apart and tried the red unlock button and it has the same issue. It seems like the unlock buttons are a fraction too small for the hole. If you have it apart and just hold the lock and unlock buttons in the top of the fob, you can see a little bit of light shining through a small gap between the unlock button and the hole it sits in. I can't see any type of gap where the lock button sits.

    I will address this issue ASAP. It’s very minor and I think I just need to tweak the mold for the back of the button post to stick up a fraction on a MM higher. Regardless, I want my stuff to be perfect so I listen to all input!

    Haven't received mine yet, but I believe both bars are included in the package.

    It's very minor. Otherwise the fob is sweet! I was impressed by your packaging, you put some time into those things!

    Also, I got a free keyring. Thanks @MESO

    No problem at all, thanks for the quick response! Here is a pic to describe what I was able to troubleshoot. The lock button will stay in the hole on it's own, but the unlock will fall straight out if I don't hold it in there. That makes me think either the unlock button hole is too big or the unlock buttons are too narrow.
