Default Key is not staying closed

Hi everyone,
Just got a 2004 s60 3 weeks ago. As of this morning, my spring-loaded key opened properly, but then refused to close normally. I needed to take a pen and push the key and force it to close.


It feels like it's not catching the closure latch properly. Anyone know of a way of fixing this mechanism? I'm really not looking at spending $340 bucks on completely replacing this key.

*update*
Seems like the spring mechanism causing the key to swing open is having issues. Called Volvo - and they want 150 bucks to replace the entire key.

Does anyone have any input on how to fix this on my own?

can you not open it up, and see if you can fix it?
