That makes sense... if the key was longer then the clip could have been pushed down over it, thus allowing it to sneak out as you drove.

The fix you have posted sounds pretty much foolproof, though, and fortunately it happened at a time when you had time to investigate and repair.

About our only "discovery" so far has been that unless the compressor is very well supported and restrained, that those little rubber vibration dampers shear off quite easily in a high-speed impact with a cement wall.... even with bumpers on.

Okay... after SEVERAL high-speed impacts with a cement wall.
