Hey, I've had this since I bought the car, but does anybody else have a dent in the Honda H badge on their steering wheel? It's started bugging me lately, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to fix it. It seems like it would be big enough that I could possibly pull it with something adhesive, but I haven't come up with anything sticky enough yet. I was just wondering if there way any way to fix it without replacing the entire airbag or removing anything.

Yep same problem here.

I know I saw a thread a while back about someone pulling theirs off, and IIRC he just pryed it off?

If you do your research, it is part of the airbag. As far as I know, there is no way to remove it.

May as well sell the car. Damn.

Agreed. It seems to be so much a problem only other options is to sell it and make it someone else's prob

I only did the sticker and it solved mine.

My dent is on the H :( I have no fix. I almost sold the car because of the dent.

Hey all, sorry that I haven't been back to this thread in a while, I got pretty busy with work. I'm thinking about getting some Silicone sealant or RTV and temporarily gluing a bamboo skewer in the center of the dent to try to pull it after it cures. I imagine that the sillicone will come off relatively easily without residue, but I have no idea if it'll be strong enough to actually pull the dent, but it's worth a try, right? This dent doesn't bug me enough to want to sell the car or anything lol, but I'd like to think I'm smart enough to fix a goddamned little dent! If I manage to succeed and fix it, I'll be sure to post a how-to here for everybody else. Looks like my dent is smaller than most other people's, but the concepts should be applicable regardless.

I took that picture back in October of last year. I knew I had a steering wheel pic to show I didn't have a dent lol. I don't browse forums while driving


I will admit I troll forums at long red lights tho :p
