Steering wheel controls peeling

[leebottrill]

Does anyone know the best solution to fixing the peeling silver bits on the steering wheel? Is there somewhere you can just buy new ones?

Paint/Dip/Wrap the panels and find a company to provide stickers for the controls (if you've got a DE, on a HR the control labels are on the buttons so it shouldn't matter).

 

Its something I've been meaning to do for a while. If you find somebody to provide stickers it may be worth doing a group buy.

 

I think you need transfers rather than stickers though.

 

You can get second hand ones from plenty of traders on here, new ones would be from Nissan.

 

I think this is what you need in terms of transfers: http://www.approved.co.uk/StandardDryTransfers.html

 

~£50 for an A4 sheet +£15 delivery!, you could probably fit 50 on a sheet. It might be something I think of doing over the winter (but don't depend on me...), the place I linked to is 20 minutes away from me so I could cut out the delivery charge.

I just scraped all the coating off when it started to peel - it looks nicer without the labels

Mines doing this and I was thinking of respraying... Are they easy to remove?

You have to take the steering wheel of and I think it has security screws on it, you've also got to be careful to not set the airbag off. But its totally something the home mechanic can tackle.

I just took mine off and sent them to aquagraphix for hydro dipping - mind you am doing the whole interior (centre console grab handle strut brace gear surround vents etc.) - I will put pictures up when I take delivery next week

Thank Randy I will take a look around for some advice first, pretty confident with doing my own work so will give it a go.

 

When you say security screws any heads up on what to expect so I can prepare, is there a special bit I need?

Unfortunately so, the airbag is secured with some kind of special anti-tamper bolt that you wont have a bit to fit unless you purchased one. A lot of faff involved for something as simple as removing the plastic surround around the buttons

 

I think this is the bugger: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Bag-Module-Bolt-Anti-Theft-Bolt-Drivers-Side-NISSAN-OEM-999L2AL000-/191219045544

My bad, I should have thought about that!

 

Cheers Randy.
