    Successful install. Cover from aliexpress fits perfectly. The ebay clock spring works fine, no airbag light. Will connect the radio side soon. A rainstorm came just as i was about to tackle it.

    Pro tip: Use 3/16 rivets to reattach the airbag.

    I've done these leather steering wheel covers, not hard. Just need to be patient. Worth every penny. You have to do some basic sewing through pretty staged holes.

    Okay guys, question. I'm trying to finish up install here on the new airbag cover, buttons and wheel cover. My old steering wheel cover and this new one always looked and felt as if it were sunken way too far in. Did any of you experience this problem I'm having? I had this issue before with old cover, but it wasn't as pronounced as before.

    I was able to adjust one side to get the cover flush with the steering wheel controls, but the right side I'm not having any luck. And it feels like it doesn't want to depress to honk the horn. When I get home I'm gonna take it all apart again.

    Mine is very similar, not as pronounce, but you can see it and not enough to bug me. How did you remedy it? Overall, your setup looks great!
