I tried searching for the last half an hr or so with no luck. I am currently trying to remove the the rubbery bezel around the center part of the steering wheel where it is prone to scratching. I want to remove it to sand and re-paint it, so I won't have to deal with the scratches for good.

Do these things just pry off? or are there more steps to removing the bezel? I searched all over the DIY but with no luck. I would really appreciate it if someone lead me the right way to get these things off.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone? Any help?

 

Bump...

 

ReBump! Lol

 

you have to remove the steering wheel from the car. there is a thread on how to do that somewhere around here.

after that, there are four tabs you can access from behind the steering wheel with a flat head screwdriver. It should pop right off after that.

I dont think it is possible to remove the bezel without first taking off the steering wheel, or at least the air bag

 

^whs, need to remove the steering, you can follow this DIY

 

man, keep me posted, i want to do the same thing, but i'm afraid the paint isn't going to match or look good. it looks like hell right now from my fingernail.

 

Mine was chipping also and they replaced it free under warranty.

 

I made a thread about how to do this HERE.

 

Great DIY! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

 

No problem! The rubber is a bit hard to get off. A fine grit sandpaper will probably work, but I didn't want to take too much material off, so I just used an abrasive kitchen sponge.

Ended up wrapping it and trying to decide if that's the look I want. Good luck!
