I had to use the emergency key to unlock the car door today. So I inserted the key under the door handle cap and pulled the cap and unlocked the car. But when I tried to put the cap back on it won't stay put I can pull it with the slightest force. Is there a trick or something to install the cap back on ?

 

Nevermind, the cap inside trim to hold it is broken thats why it won't stay hold.

 

One time use design? Unfortunate since I'm sure the new one doesn't come painted (but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong on that assumption..)

 

not a one time design. for some reason my remote unlock/lock buttons wont work sometimes and ive had to manually unlock and pull the cap off 4-5 times now. when putting it back on, you have to hook/slide one side on first before you push/snap the other side in. op probably just tried to snap the cover back on all at once and broke the tab. mines still intact after removing and re-installing many times.

 

Yes correct it can be pulled multiple times, but I didn't know any better so i just shoved the key and pull the crap out of it and voila broken. And I ordered the part it comes in primer unfortunately

 

This happened to me back in November twice in one week after buying my Cayenne. I since put new batteries in BOTH keys to address the issue. It hasn't happened since.
