Keyless Go Button on Handle
Hi,
A button popped off/is no longer attached. I HAVE the button.
Can this be easily reattached, and still function as good as new?
By what method (i.e. Super glue)?
Or should I just buy a new handle??
Thanks in advance!!

This happened to mine while it was at the dealer in for repairs. They're ordering a whole new shift handle assembly.
The button is on a series of fairly tightly molded "guide rails" for the lack of a better description. It is even challenging to get it in just the right alignment to drop back in if it pops out.
I suppose you could try some not-too-sticky polymer ball or something, but my guess is that anything that effectively transmits the force to the actual switch will probably either not be sticky enough to keep it on, or will gum up the free travel of the button in those rails.

Thanks.
It must have been damaged somehow, because the button would not "seat" right in the handle when I tried that. So, I ordered a new handle and already replaced it.
