Wow, I have had my truck for over a month and never even noticed this. My fob is the same way!

My JL fob was certainly not like this. Weird!

Now I'm officially bugged :>)

@JeepCares my key fobs have the same issue. Can you help?

I received a PM from JeepCares regarding this, and I was ultimately told to confront the dealership about the issues. Not quite sure what good that will do, since I'm pretty sure they aren't the ones that manufacture the keyfob cases.

Mine has the same small gap. Appears to be tapered. The OP definitely has a much bigger gap than mine.

Side Note: I never really expected Jeep to throw out waterproof key fobs, but I am impressed this post got to four pages of comments

I understand but this is happening to every single person's key fob from multiple dealerships it's extremely unlikely that the dealership can do anything about this

I am renting a 2019 JLU Wrangler this week in Indy. Yes the key fob is massive and both fobs have the gap. I can't believe that Jeep thinks this is OK and not a problem.

I have a white/red/black set waiting to swap my GF's key fob into.

From the JLU.

I had a lot of trouble getting it to close like the video. If you have the same problem, use a very small screwdriver to hold the battery in place while closing - made all the difference.

I've got a 2018 JLUR (waiting for my 2020 Gladiator to get to the dealer), and neither key has this issue. The gap around my key fob is the same size all the way around the key.

What I think happened - and I'm just spitballing here - is they order these fob shells from a manufacturer in the many thousands of units at a time. There is likely a problem with the company providing the key fob shells right now - or at least for a few recent batches.

I imagine the dealers need to order replacement keys for all of you with issues. When my Gladiator comes in, I'm going to show the dealer my key fobs and ask them to open a claim with Jeep if my Gladiator's fobs don't close completely.
