My Nissan came with a 'key fob', a 2.5 x 0.75 x 0.5 inch plastic
irregularly-shaped device that has three buttons - unlock doors, lock, &
panic.

Yesterday somehow the panic button somehow accidently got pushed while I
was standing next to the car in a parking lot embarrasing me by beeping
the horn and flashing the lights.

Did anyone notice?

I've set my alarm off 3 or 4 times, not that way, but by reaching in
the open window, unlocking the door, and opening the door. The alarm
doesn't count unlocking without a key as disarming it. When I do
that, set off the alarm, I just put in the key and unlock the door and
that turns off the alarm. Anyone who has noticed, notices that the
alarm has quickly stopped, and they figure I made a mistake. They
certainly think that when I get in and drive away.

What's the worse that could happen? If someone acts very quickly and
a cop is nearby and he wants proof I own the car, that's why I carry
my car's registration. What thief would have that? But it's never
happened.

Any suggestions on how to guard this button from being accidently pushed?

thin metal loop around that part of the fob but can't think of a
removable (in case I sell the car) way to mount it. Any other ideas? I
thought of but can't see any way to remove one of the button's
connections.

Then it wouldn't work at all.

Only access to the interior is to replace battery. I don't
want to stop carrying the fob - it bailed me out once when I locked the
key in the car and opens the hatchback. I prefer to keep it on my key
ring or I'll forget it.
