    This small cover on the side of the steering wheel is very loose and rattles around. Not sure how it comes off - maybe just pulls off? Didn't want to risk breaking it. Any ideas on how to put it back on more solidly?

    Mine has been like that since I first discovered it - maybe a month into ownership.

    You want to use a small flathead screwdriver. Check out this video. If it does not snap tightly back in, I would wedge a small piece of similar colored cloth in to stop the rattling.
