Chrome rubbing off steering wheel emblem?
Anybody else have this issue? I'm from Florida and of course it gets hot down here, but I'm not sure whether this is normal or from the heat or shouldn't be happening at all. Would this be covered under warranty? I mean I just took my finger and was able to smudge the chrome.. it hasn't even been that hod today, got the account on in my car and it's 85 out.

Nothing wrong with my current emblem on my wire bag but I did just buy a c/f overlay to match the rest of my emblems. I brought in my 2013 for a cracked radio number and they said no due to it only being under CPO and it doesn’t cover cosmetic. |

I think this is pretty common. Unfortunately, that emblem is permanently attached to the airbag, so I'm somewhat doubtful it'll be covered...they'd have to replace the entire airbag. Only solution I've found is some aftermarket stick-on covers that can be found all over eBay. Unfortunately, while they're very close, depending on how anal you are, it's not quite an exact match to the oem roundel. I've decided to live with it than to have an emblem staring at me every time I drive that I can ever so slightly tell is not factory.
