First is the little key chain metal?
No.. I dont think so.. they're ittybitty shiny squares from a good ol' walmart junk keychain. The second I knew what created the prob. I instantly chucked the pretty shitty key chain. Could still be in my back seat.. LoL... But Prob isnt metal.. & I hope not, bcus I have a feeling your feedback wont be good.
Thank Goodness -- they are plastic... Put they screwing my life & the life of the car... up.. how can I remove them. Need the cheap man's version.. Thank You for any and all of your feedback.

Ok,,im gona help you ,yes i know your key placement,and if you dont want to try what ive said,then try this,Go to wallmart,by a can of pressured air,like you clean keyboards with,take straw,stick down in key cylinder,and let it blow it out.
Even if you remove cylinder,it want come apart,you will have to replace it any way.gurl :)
My kid is 17 also.. Whis she had done it so I could blame it on her.. But this is all on me... Errrr !@#$$%^
