Removing airbag crest???
I just recieved a silver airbag crest from Ralph Boothe...but I have no idea how to remove it!!! I've heard it's held with some double sided tape...but I can't get it off... I've wasted 1/2 a roll of floss, and exhausted my poor putty knife... I went and bought some "goo-off" at home depot during lunch...but I don't want to try it unless I really have to...
Any suggestion guys/gals???? THANKS!!!

Huh...swap the whole airbag??? Is that necessary??? I never go the cheap route...but airbag swap sounds overkill just to get the silver crest. Even if you buy a new airbag unit...don't they just change the crest too...Airbag with silver crest isn't a OEM part right???
Andrew: I'm not sure how much just the silver airbag crest was...I puchased HRE silver center caps, polished wheel bolts, hood crest and airbag crest. I didn't even look at the bill yet. But the polished caps do look great!!! Same one Eric (ESK) has on his TT cab.

Chris...It's a safety issue. I am not sure if the crest has an attachment from inside the air bag cover. I heard it's very difficult to remove the stock one without damaging the unit. That's the last thing you want to damage as far as safety is concerned. I think almost everyone who has the silver crest has swapped the air bag too. This is why you mostly see the silver crested air bag sold as one single unit.

Just recieved an e-mail from Ralph...He told me to glue the silver crest over the existing gold one. I will do that until I can get a new airbag from Gert.
Thanks everyone!!!!

Gary at the time it was my C4 CAB and I went from a 4 spoke to a 3 and just bought that airbag from Porsche directly.

Understand, I was just pointing out for others that if NRauto did the swap it seemed to be a good deal. For 175 and not having to worry about selling the gold crested bag. I would jump on it.
Also they are in CA.

Hit something real hard. The crest is riveted on.
The 2000 Boxster S was the only Boxster that came with a silver crest, then it went to a colored crest. Some Boxster owner will trade you air bags, even. When I priced a 3 spoke steering wheel and air bag to replace my 4 spoke on my old Boxster a few years ago the silver crested air bag cost more. Jeff
