Airbag cover replaceable?

Jab2009 · 06-07-2011, 03:57 PM

My Z is used with 15000 miles on it, and it has these little nicks on the airbag cover. So I called a Nissan dealership near me and reheats that I'd have to buy the whole steering wheel.. So then I called z1 and asked if they can sell me an air bag cover and they said yeah. But can only get a me a new one which is like $500. So my question is, is the airbag cover with the airbag I'm assuming, able to be replaced without buying the whole steering wheel?

Yes

I have no experience with Nissan but on any other car I've taken apart that cover is one piece, attached to the airbag its self. Which would explain the high costs for a piece of plastic.

Sweeeet, thanks guys. I'm sure the cost for the installation isn't cheap either... oh well. I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought the Z
