Airbag cover

i have seen the new rubber airbag covers on eBay for the Corsa.

My rubber cover has cracked around the horn buttons and looks tatty.

I was wondering if anyone has changed one of the covers and could give some guidance on how simple it is. Does it just peel off the airbag unit in the middle of the wheel and do you need to remove the airbag unit to replace the cover.

It's just 2 screws and the cover pulls away

Thank you Johnny. Is that to remove the airbag unit from the centre of the steering wheel or the rubber cover with the Vauxhall badge and horn buttons

Just the cover with badge and horn buttons

Thank you Johnny. I will order one on that basis.

I finally got round to doing this. Airbag easy to remove from wheel by undoing the two torx screws.

The cover was held on by 2 pop rivets and the retaining clips round the three sides. Drilled out rivets very easily and then removed cover by pressing down round the edges to release the clips then flipped off with a screwdriver.

Removed Vauxhall badge with a punch to break the plastic welds then filed the back smooth. Reassembled with ease replacing pop rivets with a couple of small self tappers and then glued badge on with contact adhesive.

30 mins in total. Pleased with result as old horn buttons had been torn off.

So now looks like new, but rest of steering wheel looks a bit worn!

Thanks for the tips.
