I ordered and finally received a replacement leather airbag cover.
Anyone with experience swapping it out, it seems the original cover is riveted in, is there a special way to remove and replace? Thank you for any advice.
^^^^^ Thank you, I am inquiring about removing the airbag cover, as I already removed the airbag from the steering wheel, you can see the rivets in the bottom photos.
I woke up this morning full of confidence, simply drilled the rivets out and swap the airbag cover. All set and done. No too bad when you get over the fear of working with an airbag :-)))
I agree with Quadrphnia, that looks fantastic!
I am curious however - did you just happen to have a rivet-gun on hand? Or did you use a similiar-sized threaded nut/bolt combo?

Yes, I have rivet gun on hand, they are cheap, every DIY-er should get one.
