What usually happens is when a driver puts on their safety belt, they reach back grabbing the plastic part of the buckle and then when pulling it forward the metal buckle strikes the horn pad chipping at it........IMO the steering wheel air bag just sits too far forward making it an easy target.
I have seen dealers swap out the whole air bag in cases where the badge decayed, but only while still under warranty.....and that is the only way as far as I know.

just got back from the dealer, looks AWESOME! so if ur badge is dented and your still under warranty call the dealer and tell em to fix it, they will do it one time only and throw on a new airbag for you.
