The L.E.D. lights plastic cover came off in my Scuderia a couple of days ago. It attaches to the rest of the steering wheel with 2 tabs located at the edges. Both are broken. The lights work well though. The obvious solution is to glue it back, but I will speak to my dealer: the car is just 2 weeks out of its warranty! Has anyone suffered this problem before? Current & past: 550 Maranello, F430 Scuderia Other: Mercedes 230 SL 'Pagode', Mercedes 230 W123, BMW M3 E30 Evo II, Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2, Porsche 993 Carrera 4S and a few other toys. |

Sorry to hear that. Do you mean the rpm LED Display integrated in upper part of the steering wheel? |

How did you solve it? Doesn't look like the plastic cover is possible to buy separately... Ferrari 430 Scuderia 2008/12 (Ferrari 355 GTS F1 -99) (Ferrari 355 GTS F1 -98) | |

Don't tell me that the solution is to buy a new steering wheel! |

A new steering wheel for just two broken tabs, oh no, what a waste Harry, is there no way to just glue carefully the 2 little tabs back? This plastic part seems to be quite fragile especially if the hands have to pass over it very often.

| Lets put it this way: Be very very careful about this little plastic thing because it might just be the most expensive part of the whole car ;-) I was able to put it in place and with a very little dot of flexible glue on each side (on the inside) make sure it fit tight and snug, should be ok now...

It's a pity that Ferrari didn't insert the shift light deeping in the steering wheel like for instance BMW did with the Performance Steering wheel.
