The front airbag cover is designed to peel/break away properly to allow the airbag to deploy correctly. The aftermarket solution wraps a piece a leather around it. I doubt it will work properly in the event of a deployment.
@momo57573 ай бұрын
It is a very good observation, I will put it at 50/50 possibility, you are right that is covered by synthetic leather, but the material is very thin and the bag explodes in milli seconds at a speed of 200 miles per hour, I doubt that a synthetic piece of leather can stop it, the cover already has predefined cut lines where the air bag will come out but you can find these types of modifications in AUDI, BMW, MERCEDES, TESLA, etc... when making this type of modifications you do it with your own consent and risk, the same thing happens when you install MOMO steering wheels and RECARO seats that do not have air bags and so on among many accessories that no longer have these safety standards.

@@momo5757 Airbags are designed to deploy in a very controlled manner - Both in terms of speed and direction. If these variables are off in any way, the airbag might not be able to catch the head in the frontal impact and the noggin might slip off and hit the dashboard. Part of the leather covering might even fly off during the deployment and hit the face. Personally, I think aftermarket leather covering on the airbags are just a very very bad idea.

@@sgtjyf01 I’m agree with you in this manner, I know is not good idea in case on a accident and still there isn’t any video about showing airbags deploying with this kind of cover. I know is only a looks but the feeling of the steering wheel and the shape feels so great compare to the OEM. I hope in the future I don’t have any accidents or inconvenient, but so far everything good. Thank you for replying, is really good to see different ideas can lead to different solutions, if I see with the time something wrong with this steering wheel or the cover I will do a video too.

do you know anything about replacing the front sway bar bushing
@momo57573 ай бұрын
Replacing the sway bar bushing is really annoying, because is not too much space to work on it, if you are willing to do it, you need to do it, each side at a time, just need to disconnect the sway bar link, and on the bushing there is two bolts removed those and with a pry bar you can separate.

Hi I bought a steering wheel with the RPM Leds on it how do I make the Leds work ? Thanks
@momo57577 күн бұрын
@@Lp-io2br for that is diferente installation, you need to check the diagram of the power cable, when you turn on the head lights from your steering wheel you need to connect the red wired from the steering wheel there and the black wire on any bolt attach to the metal of the steering wheel, but for the rpm they need to include a OBDII to connect to the car to reprogram the rpm.

@@widerandrew6849 lo qué pasa es que como son aftermarket, los engranes no vienen en la misma posición, y a veces cuando enroscas el tornillo que sostiene el volante tiene un poco de movienmiento y eso hace que quede fuera de lugar, lo único que puedes hacer llevar el auto a que le hagan alineamiento para que el volante quede nuevamente recto.
