Pics would help figure out your problem. I bought several on ebay without issues.

Okay let me explain in detail. The oem airbags usually have a black negative connector this one had a blue one weird. The problem is the airbag snaps in place but i can move the thing up and down side to side. Ive noticed that the bottom part of the bag is suppose to go in a crevice but that does not fit and the crevices on the right and left corner do not fit with the rubber parts(the ones where you screw the hex bolts. I tried everything to reinstalling up to 7 times and switching brackets to tightening the bolts. It still moves around up and down and is very lose. Somone please help me i am so pissed of that i just want to find this A hole from ebay.

What was the return policy? Did you check part numbers with RealOEM?

F80_M3llow · 02-03-2012, 09:34 PM

Part numbers match up but I'm going to return it. I don't understand why it wouldn't fit.

F80_M3llow · 02-04-2012, 03:29 AM

Well I played all day with this thing and came up with something. I bent the air back bracket a bit and now it fits snug and everything work great. The msport wheel is awesome I love it.

Good to hear. Pics of the final install?

ChasVS · 02-04-2012, 08:03 AM

Good for you. I was going to suggest fitting the airbag on the bracket before it's on the wheel to see where it may not be seating properly, but you obviously figured it out.

I love mine and is one great upgrade I'd recommend.

I swapped out the paddle shifters to the LCI style. Dowshift on Left and Upshift on Right. Really a nice ( but pricy ) upgrade.

Here are some shots i took today of the wheel and part of the interior. It came out great.
