Default A legitimate gripe and a plea for advice...

I've been loving life with my 2014 F56 Cooper S for a long time now, but one thing irritates me to no end. Twice now, the keyhole cap for the driver's side handle keeps getting stolen. Replacing the little plastic, chrome painted thing costs over 50 bucks at the dealership.

So here's where I could use some ideas. Of course I'm going to buy another one, but with how easy it is to pop out, what's to stop this from happening again and again? If I use krazy glue, and then the fob stops working, I'm screwed.

Has anyone else had this happen?
What did you do to stop it?
Does anyone else think they could have come up with a design that didn't cost you money every time some troll decided to ruin your day?

Peace MINIyuns

You could always just not replace the little cap if it keeps being stolen or just falling out. I know it makes for a cleaner look on the door handle though
