I have two ignition keys for my 2000 Nissan Altima, the top of the key
is covered by black plastic. The loop, which is used to hang the key
on a key chain, is broken on both keys. The keys have a chip inside so
I just can't have a copy made.

Does anybody know of any covers I could buy that I could put over the
broken plastic part so I could hang the keys on a chain again? After
reading a post in another Nissan forum I tried to drill a small hole
in the plastic the key. I drilled a few millimeters below the top of
the key but couldn't get through, seems the metal key goes all the way
up to the top of the plastic...hopefully I didn't damage the chip.
I'll find out tomorrow.

Has anybody else run into this. The size of the key prevents from just
going and buying some cheap key covers and slipping one over the keys.
Anybody know of anyplace I could get a key cover or something?

Thanks

I work at Advance Auto Parts, and we recently got a new HELP! product
that may very well work... it is designed to repair a broken loop on a
keyless entry unit, but you may be able to modify it (cut it) to fit
your key. It is small, but very stretchy. I can try to get you a part
number tomorrow.
