Changing Air Bag Emblem on Steering Wheel

OK, does anyone know the easiest way to remove the Mustang emblem from the steering wheel air bag? I've chnaged out all the other emblems/badges to Shelby units and this is the last remaining 'Mustang' item.

Yeah, just pop it off. I don't think there is anything holding it on except some sticky stuff.

i read you have to remove the hole thing including the airbage,, some one in the forum (if not on this forum then on the other mustang forums) that his started to bubble and when he took it to the dealership they told him they had to remove the whole thing or something like that.

Yes, I too have heard that you have to remove the entire airbag. I knew a guy in Tulsa who had his running horse emblem wrinkled and they had to remove the entire airbag to replace it. Sorry, I would love to put a GT symbol on there myself but don't want to mess with the hassle.

i have attached a pic from a mustang with the airbag deployed (from ebay), just to give you a better idea. I would not recomend you do it.

looks like if you didn't reattach it with enough glue it would fly off and nail your passenger if the airbag deployed.

The guys at Fang, Saleen, and Roush change out the OE one for their own emblems. Maybe one of them could help.

I'm not sure if Roush or Saleen would be willing to divulge how they removed the emblem, but it's worth a call.

I think the problem is that the Mustang emblem is contoured so anything placed on top of it wouldn't sit flush. However, if someone can come up with a way to do it, I'd buy one!!

Vinyl decal would work. There are some on eBay for the fake gas gap. Try contacting those guys.

The Pony on mine looks like it has chicken pox. Dealer has ordered an airbag to fix. I asked if they couldn't just replace the "horn button" they said no, it's all together. Glad it's under warranty. Feel bad though, must cost quite a bit.

You should've convinced them to order the GT500 one! That would've been cool...

Mine also looks a little like the chicken pox. Like it is peeling from under the clear coating. If it gets to bad i will let the dealer know. Right now, you really have to look HARD to see anything.
