Steering Wheel Cover

Greeney · 10-08-2006, 11:18 AM

How would one go about removing the cover itself, Im planning on buying the new Black with Chrome wheel cover off the 335 but I have no idea how to go about changing the cover. Is there a way to do this without removing the wheel?

Thanks guys.

You will have to remove the airbag to get it off.

If you are talking about the trim there are 3 screws on the back of the steering wheel you have to remove then the cover just pulls off, just do it gently. I changed mine from black to silver. There are screws holding the controls in place, but it is very easy to do. No removal of airbag required.

Okay, so this just pulls down once you remove the screws from the back then, right?

Thank you.

Did you disconnect the battery just in case?

Damn, so you had to get a new airbag then, huh?

I just changed my cover from black to aluminum about 3 weeks ago with no airbag removal. Simply 3 screws and a gentle pull down then out. I did not disconnect the battery either........maybe I was just lucky
