In some instances, upon my return to the vehicle in a shared parking area, I have seen that the trunk compartment is occasionally found to be in an open position. Assistance is required.

Apply lubricant to all components of the lock.

Do you have a key fob in your possession?

Indeed. Is it possible to get a specialised cover case designed to prevent accidental activation?

I would do a search on the online marketplace platform eBay to explore the range of accessible options.

My GLE vehicle exhibits a similar behaviour, and I am certain that the cause is the fob in my pocket exerting pressure on coins or other objects present in the pocket. The occurrence of this situation seems to be absent in the case of my partner when she has the automobile. I am curious as to whether the key fobs may be reprogrammed using the star method.

I just purchased a Faraday-type key cover from an online marketplace. Let us examine the matter at hand.

Would it be possible for you to retain possession of the keys in your hand until you have traversed a distance of about 100 metres, so ensuring that you are outside the range of their potential loss, and thereafter secure them in your pocket or another suitable storage location?

Sounds easy BUT supermarkets. In most cases, you won't have to go more than a few hundred feet to reach a clinic, hospital, etc.
