Just a quick, possibly stupid question...

[Parry123]

Hey guys, this may sound stupid but i was wondering if anyone has had a go at taking the renault diamond from the steering wheel, my initial thought is that it is glued on and just needs a bit of force to remove it, but asking just incase.
Cheers guys.

Interesting. Good question!

I was thinkin about this earlier, yeh i guess its glued and just needs something wedged behind it and a good pull to get it off, then use some kind of adhesive to stick it back on

 

[Parry123]

Yeah a good pull, and was thinking if it's stuck on maybe a hairdryer but then again that could do some damage to the material around the diamond. Anyone else shed some experiance ?!? :S might have a pull at it after work, let u know how it goes lol

That sounds wrong TBH.

If it helps, my uncle had a Renault Trafic van and the diamond fell off the steering wheel on that. That was glued on (poorly), so I'd imagine it's the same on all Renault steering wheels?

"That was glued on (poorly)"

About to have a go and I hope so cheers for the info mate

not a stupid question

 

[Parry123]

Lol cheers mate just new that's all and don't know if it's already been answered loads of times an being a tit haha. Erm I had a quick look and mine seems pretty cemented on which is annoying and very hard to get anything underneath the diamond without scratching something or beeping the horn lol heeeelp lol
:S

Disconnecting the battery will stop the horn from beeping.
If you want to melt the glue try getting a hairdryer onto it. That's how people normally go about removing the external badges so I'd imagine the same thing would apply internally.

I HAVE IT, it takes some time and alot of heat, if your going to attempt it, make sure you dont crack the the little thing its rather fragile ill upload some pics maybe...
