My retainer ring is loose currently. Am I going to need to get a new one when I order that Blue, or does that work w/o it?

The stock ones need a special tool or exceedingly tiny fingers. The fact that its loose indicates somebody has forced it somehow sometime. To get any after market thing in there you need to rig something up.

Maybe it is loose because somebody removed the rubber cap.

The right side of the retainer is completely off, currently being held in place by the left side only. There is no cover on it, so who knows what someone did to it. The dealer I bought it from seemed to be pretty useless when it came to information about it, and was going to have his guys fix the power mirror switch while I filled out the paperwork b/c the mirrors would only go down when I tried to set them during the test drive. Guess what I had to replace myself yesterday...

Extra key situation handled. Took the one that came w/ one of the fobs I ordered from Amazon to Walmart and the guy cut it for me, gave me the instructions to program it myself and didn't even charge me for the cut. Now to rig up the new USB power after it gets delivered today, and wait for the other fob and programmer coming tomorrow.

Slowly but surely...
