406 Key Fob Cover

Having read many of the posts on key fobs it seems I'm the lucky one because it actually works.
My problem is that the two buttons on the fob have all but disintegrated. Fortunately the door locking button is still functional but the deadlock button wont operate.
I have since picked out the remnants of the small button exposing the white micro switch that I can operate with the point of a byro !
I enquired with the local dealer about a replacement cover for the key but they said that they were not available. Apparently my only choice is the £97 new key saga !
Whe you split the fob, say for a battery change, the part with the buttons and the circuit board comes away seperate. The CB could then be removed leaving the upper part of the key case with the buttons. I dont understand why this isnt a spare part.
Any ideas ?

The rubber buttons on my remote fob wore out and I managed to purchase a new case off ebay for about £7.
