Steering wheel swap - can't get airbag to sit straight

[thegenius46m]

Well I got the bracket I ordered from eBay today... it also looks bent but I will see if I can just bend my original one back. Still haven't gotten around to fixing this LOL.

PM me

The torx screws that you see on the sides and at the bottom is what adjust the bracket in/out and as such control the depth of the airbag position inside the steering wheel. Just screw those in a bit more, then make sure the airbag sits all the way in.

Mine never sat flush again after I got the airbag recall. I just got used to it.

Texas good looking out. MTiz the problem is less the cosmetics, and more that it hits the horn contacts and thus randomly blasts the horn with no warning lmao.

Did it work?

Haven't had a moment what with work and other crap. Tomorrow is looking like it's free finally...

I just installed my Tanik steering wheel. I am assuming this is a wiring issue with the gap on the right side of the airbag? Can anyone confirm or deny?

My Tanik did the same, slightly more gap on right than left, although I noticed it took much more force to remove the RH side airbag plastic tang than the LH side. I may have bent the RH bracket a bit, who knows, I am leaving it.
Its all about the bracket/airbag "tang" interface, not blaming the wheel fwiw.

Finally got around to putting the "new" used plate in, seems to have fixed the problem. It fits a little better and I haven't had the horn go off on its own YET, so hopefully we can call it done.
