    I did, I cleaned it all out, and put in a new battery already. Im going to let it sit for awhile. I dont use that key much, so im not terribly concerned if the buttons dont work. Just annoying.

    I imagine "electronics" are fried but the RFID chip is still good since those are "sealed", but when i Swapped my OEM casing over the a Meso case, i didn't see the RFID chip (it was a separate piece on my old honda fit key).

    Some say to put it in a bowl and cover top and bottom with rice for 24 hr. Apparently the rice absorbs the moisture. Can't hurt to try.

    I still have a few of my QuikFix™ 3rd gen replacement full size, hidden, height adjustable, car wash safe, front license plate bracket assemblies for $30 shipped. Better than the fugly black plastic ones. No drilling if you already have a factory plastic bracket. Ones for SSO/fairlead hole patterns, with additional stainless hardware, are $32 shipped.

    So I guess I owe you a royalty check. Between eBay fees, PayPal fees, income taxes, and your damn royalty, it's no wonder I can't make any money off these things LOL. Ok then here is another truck instead[​IMG]

    I don’t care if you use my pic but my initial thought is “I have a twin!”

    I can see these being necessary on a utility package truck when rolling down the windows in the rain.... I was going to buy these, but the sliding rear window helps in the rain big time... You can crack the rear slider and the 2 front windows in the rain and barely get anything inside wet.. my last Taco didn't have a sliding rear window so I was always popping the access cab windows open... I love having the slider... I wish the rear access cab windows still tilted out.

    Had to haul materials to a job so I came up with this using scrap wood. Not crazy about the one on tailgate but worked for now.
    It's still a work truck even though I'm suppose to be retired. ;)IMG_0364.jpg

    Finished sealing the side rail caps with foil tape and silicone caulked the inside edge of the rail only. Allowing any water to flow easily off to the side and out.

    also siliconed the bulkhead block rail. I put a couple rubber foam tubing chunks in between the bulkhead and side rail and siliconed those up good to.

    I like to leave the windows cracked in the summer to keep temps down inside when's its parked. Having the weather tech window deflectors keep the rain out.

    Doing a little bit at a time.
    Open it up and use a blow dryer on low. Small chance it will work again. Good luck!

    rotated tires changed oil threw out the old air freshener.
    Fresh air when it's raining? The back window slides open! What a deal!

    I do have a softopper on that limits rain splash.

    Installed a small light bar in the fake hood scoop. I have it wired to come on with the fog lights, but really want it on with the high beams. I haven’t been able for figure out the can bus signal to trip the relay.
