I bought the upgrade LED steering wheel and the guy who installed it for me scratched the airbag cover. Anyone know any way to fix it? Or anywhere to buy just a cover, not with the airbag. Steering wheel making some rattling sound and hard to push down the airbag to honk, anyone know why? Checked few times but didn't find issue.

Unfortunately, the leather cover is part of the steering wheel airbag. You can take it to a leather restoration professional who can try to repair it or buy a used airbag from eBay for $400.
Also, you will need to take the airbag and steering trim off to see what is making the rattling noise. It could be a loose screw or something moving around when you rotate the steering wheel. |

you won't "fix it", but try to condition the leather really well. I like to use a little brush to get it in there really good. It should reduce the scratch some.

Tried leather conditioner, looks much better right after I apply them, but when they dry it shows out again. I might take it to a leather shop

When I replaced my trim, a clip from the old trim broke off and fell inside the wheel. So I had the clicking when I turned the wheel. It eventually went away after 2 days. Most likely something broke off. Glad the conditioner helped a little. I'd probably have them replace it. You can sell the old one and it would only cost a few dollars on the swap. Hopefully a detail shop can restore it.
