Sport Button & Steering Wheel Trim Peeling

shawnj · 06-25-2017, 08:36 PM

The Cali sun has taken a toll on my non tinted car. My sport button is starting to bubble and peel along with my steering wheel trim. I've seen a few diy's for respraying the trim but has anyone done anything with their sport button?

Had to just replace mine awhile back. Costs around $50 for a new one

I covered my peeling steering wheel trim in matte black vinyl 3 years ago and I haven't had a problem with it since. Much better just to wrap it with a material that you know won't peel, rather than buy a new trim piece from BMW every year or two forever.

Even with my heavily tinted windows, this Cali sun has destroyed my steering wheel trim.
