yeah, what amg said. there also was an issue with the steering column/cover/airbag so they replaced my entire steering wheel unit...

according to my dealership,Crevier, the emblem is cosmetic. if y'all know how to take it off, and glue it back on, let me know.. i wanna 'modify' mine a little...

[i'm thinking of prying the sucker off, heating it, to fix the 'dent' and then investing in some lovely glue or whatnot to re-stick the emblem]

That's exactly whatI was thinking of doing. Anyone else ever pry the emblem off and get the dents out?

Hey Everyone,
Good news...I just called the dealer and they will replace the dented emblem for me under warranty. They said it is a one time replacement and they will call it a tarnished emblem. IfI had to pay for it it would have cost me 800.00 because it involved replacing the airbag also. It is the center piece of thewheel so I am definitely getting it replaced. I have to drive two hours north but what the heck it will be a fun ride. Does anyone know if the mini dealers sell key chains, etc in their shops?

Yeah, they'll have all that swag.

So is the final word to fix the dent, that the whole center needs replace?we just got a new to us 2006 and ours is dented. also the horn will not blow. so I think a trip to the dealer is in order. it's a long ways to the closest dealer but I think we are going to have to make the trip. I looked at the horns and the wires are connected and do not see a fuse that is just for the horn so I think we have a problem that is over my head

They popped mine off and pushed out the dent (or maybe used a suction cup), and replaced the emblem under warranty
