Is your GMC key fob looking a little worse for wear? Many GMC owners experience wear and tear on their key fobs over time, from sticky residues to worn rubber. Instead of replacing the entire key fob, which can be costly, consider a simple and affordable upgrade: an aftermarket Gmc Key Fob Cover.
Like many, I recently encountered this issue with a newly acquired CPO ’18 Terrain Denali. One of the key fobs was in rough shape, covered in grime and with deteriorated rubber. While cleaning helped restore basic functionality, the worn appearance remained. The other key fob, thankfully, was in excellent condition, raising questions about replacement fobs from dealerships.
Seeking a cosmetic fix, I explored online options for a GMC key fob cover. My goal was to find an inexpensive aftermarket cover that closely resembled the original design. After some searching, eBay offered a vendor with a cover that fit the bill. As you can see in the images, the aftermarket cover is remarkably similar to the original. While the rubber texture isn’t quite as “gummy” as the OEM, it’s perfectly acceptable. The plastic backing differs slightly in texture and lacks the GMC logo, but this is a minor detail.
The best part? The solution was incredibly simple: I swapped the front cover of the aftermarket fob onto my original GMC key fob. This allowed me to retain the genuine GMC backing and internal components while refreshing the worn front.
The GMC key fob cover I purchased was listed for around $15, but a coupon code brought the price down to $10. Slightly less OEM-looking options are available for around $8 (plus shipping).
If your GMC key fob cover is showing signs of wear, consider this affordable and easy DIY fix. Replacing just the cover can significantly improve the look and feel of your key fob without the expense of a full replacement. This simple upgrade is a great way to maintain your GMC and keep your key fob looking its best.
