bought my mini used is Sep and i checked everything on the car twice to make sure i was getting a good deal and the one thing i over look was the horn badge had a dent right in the center maybe someone honked a little too hard. car wasnt even driven that much so it didnt take long to happen had 17k on it when i bought it. it was hard to see before but now its all i see. can i even order a replacement??

 

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.

 

And this is done free under warranty? If that's the case I needa get it in there mine is up in dec!

 

Check out this page. They sell the domed badges. Scroll down to the bottom of the page & you should see them.

I hope that helps.

 

dealer told me they will replace it 1 time only if under warrenty which it is so im good!

 

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.
