I finally got my wheel back from Latvia. The quality from Ledermanz is super top notch and everything that I was hoping for. He is really an amazing craftsman. I had to pay a bit extra to retain the heating function but, to me, that was important. I went with a semi-flat top and bottom. Some curvature on the bottom corners. Thick alcantara and red stitching. I think it came out amazing. The process to get this done required a lot of patience. Interestingly, I communicated with Ledermanz only through Instagram. But it all worked out well. Total time was about 1 month. 1 week transport to Riga, two weeks building time, and 1 week back. It is definitely a winter project but totally worth the trouble. I have a few questions:
I have reconnected everything and installed. There is a very small wire that I do not remember when I took it out. I cannot find the plug for it. I am hoping it was tucked away as I have done and not used. Is it not exposed because the wheel was totally rebuilt? See picture attached.
Also, a larger problem. The airbag is not popping back out to sit flush with the wheel. It is inset. When you turn the key you can hear the horn sounding. I do not think I have wires snugging up to the airbag and preventing it from popping back out. I have removed the 3 clear sticker shims. I have pulled the airbag and reset several times with no change. Any advice?
A few pics. Can't wait for spring!
