2008 Astra XR
Default Steering Wheel Badge

For those of you who have taken off the Saturn Badge on the Airbag, do you have pictures or can you explain to me how its on there (ie glued, with clips, melted, etc)

I had a friend send me a suprise in the mail - A Vauxhall airbag Badge So I want to get it swapped over but before I do I need to know how the Saturn one is on there and how difficult it is to pry off. I know the Vaux one is in with clips and then melted on the back of the airbag.

Easier to hear from you guys before I go at it myself

Thanks!

the saturn one is held on in the same way. you have to remove the horn fuse, and pry it off with a flathead. breaking some of the clips in the process. and if you're really lucky, you'll be stuck with screwdriver indentations around the emblem area on the airbag

good to know. I have a way to get it off from the airbag without leaving marks. not worried about breaking the clips. the one sent to me was sent attached, they just cut it out of the airbag covering so that I could do what I wanted with it.

I'll give it a go the weekend and will post the results
