Default Howto repair XK8 Remote Keyfob Buttons
Finally I found a shop (here in Germany) who sells the tiny smd pushbuttons used in my Remote Keyfobs.
Both of my keyfobs weren't working reliable anymore because the pushbuttons were bejond the designed lifetime and I decided to replace them.

I made a short video showing how I did it. Maybe it's helpful for someone else.
