Default Instructions on how to change the key cover on a 971


found the instructions on aliexpress and some likely knockoffs after I already ordered my factory saphire blue Key cover.
Simply snap valet key out. Then pull on the inside cover of the key cap laterally out and down. It’s firm and will snap off. Much easier then previous gen keys. Reverse to pop the cover on. The hazy pic is from aliexpress where I found a partially covered photo of the instructions

Where did you buy/order the key cover? Mind sharing? Thanks.

suncoastparts.com but I found similar ones online at aliexpress.com
form$60 more though probably get the OEM ones. I think I read they got a new paint process that chips less than the old ones
