Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Time seems to do that to most airbag cars. My 92 Camaro was looking bad and honking the horn took way too much force which I think is how so many horn buttons get smashed. I just removed the air bag and took my trusty dykes and cut off lots of that cream colored plastic around the edges and behind where you press to honk the horn. The black plastic cover bent back pretty well and eventually laid pretty flat to where it should be. May sound barbaric to some, but works great. Only other alternative I know of would be finding a new or unwarped one. Of course I don't know everything and someone else may have a better idea.

 

I'd like to know how to fix this as well, mine is doing the same, fortunately i had a spare steering wheel for my 77 T/A, got that on for now (may keep it on, looks a lot better than the air bag wheel), just have to put airbag one back on for MOT.

 

4th gen air bag wheels are compatible and don't look out of place in thirdgens. Tons of them out there in bone yards that are usually in better condition that the thirdgen wheels. I got this one at a pull-a-part yard for $50 to replace my 91's bag cover that was peeling away. I looked high and low for a replacement before doing the 4th gen swap.

 

Well, I know this is an old thread, but I have some pics of my fix that might help.

When I was looking for information and could not find anything, so I decided to remove my airbag and modify around the horn buttons for a better fitment. Please note I have disabled my airbag due to hearing nightmare stories of these 90's vintage Takata airbags going off. This modification may or may not affect the airbag deployment in an accident. Modify at your own risk. I did not want to go with an aftermarket steering wheel as I wanted to keep the OEM look and pass NYS inspection without any issues.

Airbag disable without getting an "Inflatable Restraint" error code: (Sorry no pics)

Disconnected battery and wait for a half hour minimum before touching wheel. Remove four T25 Torx screws in back of steering wheel holding in airbag. Loosen screws evenly, a couple of rotations at a time, as they are held into wheel with clips. I then disconnected the electrical connector from airbag and added A 2-ohm 3-watt resistor in its place. I taped this connector with resistor in it to an open spot inside of wheel, so it will be out of way when reinstalling the airbag. This resistor will fool the computer to think the airbag is still installed and function as normal without error codes.

Airbag horn button modification:
My horn buttons were still functional, but I decided to reinforce to prevent future problems. A little JB Weld does the trick.

I got a little excessive with the JB Weld. These needed to be modified slightly to fit back in horn switch casing.

Airbag Modification:
I used zip ties to pull back the white plastic, which straitens out horn button flap area. If located exactly as shown in these pictures, they will not interfere with wheel when airbag is re-installed. If the white plastic is cracked on your wheel this fix will not work. I tightened the zip tie until horn grey flap was straight across, even with top of airbag as shown below.





Airbag Re-installation:
I placed airbag back in wheel and retightened. I did add shims (washers) to screws to move out airbag as it was originally sitting too deep in wheel. As a point of reference, my horn flap looked exactly like the picture in the original post above. Here are the final installed pics:

 

Huge improvement!

Thank you for sharing - I might do this on my 91 soon.
