Default RS steering wheel - pad install

I've (finally) installed my RS wheel after reading through all the various theads covering the job. Thanks to all that have gone down this road before me and shared.

But... I can't for the life of me figure our how to get the center pad onto the wheel. Lots of pushing and pulling and all I can get lined up is the top edge.

Is there a trick to this?

Brutal is the only way to describe it. I have convinced myself I will never remove mine after wrestling to get that damn pad on. All I can say is use a narrow rigid trim tool and just slowly work from one end of the top edge to the other. I never found any secret tricks. Good Luck!

Okay, I was afraid that would be the answer. I'll keep at it

I slide mine in at the top, then gently pull on the sides to fit it.
