Has anybody seen this before?
2007 2.7 Cayman
Steering wheel as of late seems to be printing the Airbag break away structure beneath it
airbag loosing shape?
Has anybody seen this before?
I'm not in a hot climate
Car is always kept in garage
Rarely parked in direct sunlight on hot days and if so, not for very long.
Options? Find a second hand one? but how long before that one has same problem.. They are all +- same age right? Find a New old Stock somewhere? Do they even exist? Recover? Is that even possible???!!? Other steering wheel.. Lost originality.. and $$$$ Any other tips
Or am I imagining something new, that always has been there??
Pretty much every one I find online seems ot have it, except a few that are listed as leather
Might be worth a call to Porsche. I’ve had 20+ year old seat belts replaced under warranty by another car mfg, seems they are warranted forever. I wonder if the airbag assembly might be treated similarly. Who knows, right?
That would be an extremely pointless adventure since I've never, ever bought anything directly from Porsche, except perhaps some gear from the webshop, nor has my car ever had any maintenance at their Dealership since the day I too ownership..
Couple to that its a cosmetic issue , they will laugh on the phone till I hang up on the call
Not the exact solution but I have clients who have this issue and various other cosmetic wheel/airbag problems and I upgrade them to the 991+ style wheels we sell, fixes the issue and gives the car a much more modern day look.
Cool that that works, but I'm kinda looking to keep mine original where at all possible.
I kinda like the 987 steering wheel I have, IF i went that route, Would probably look at the sports steering wheel for the 987, the smaller diameter with round center.
But those are spendy as well
