I guess the sloped incline grove that leads to a slot for the spring to stay wore itself down..

Well back to the OEM for now
They key just wont prop out by itself anymore..Tried reassembly and reset the spring tension...still no dice

I'd need to add more with JB weld then sand it down...
Key was cheap enough I should just buy another casing..
