I had the dealer make a key from my VIN. The rubber lasted maybe a year. Now the keys that came with my aftermarket keylock that I replaced about three years ago have held up fine. You would think MB could do a little better on something this simple.

Oh the fix for my dealer key was J&B Weld. It's generally held up well but the thinner layers are wearing down.
