I personally can't deal with the rattling anymore. It requires constant tweaking and then THIS happened. Just frustrating all together.

Can I see a picture of the FRONT of the Extension to see what the pads look like that press down the String?
Also, what kind or brand of Extension is this and, where did you get it.
Changing to a similar extension fitted to the same board will be cheaper than starting over again, I think.
Do NOT worry about holes in the Scroll. They are never 100% perfect and if You change to a different extension, you will need to plug that hole and trill another. Varnish touch-up is not a big deal. Even if you put a new extension of the exact same kind, the re-fit may not work with that hole either so forget about that hole meaning anything. It is the extension and how it works that counts.
Also, welding new Keys onto your fingering system might be a possibility as well. Some of these Extensions are made in China and are doomed to fail if not rebuilt including others made in Europe. These new ones are not as good as the old ones from decades ago. They call this, 'Progress'.
