So, I bought and aftermarket steering wheel and airbag/horn cover. How do I do I remove the actual airbag/horn from the stock cover? Those black clips do not move.

Why do you need to remove that part? My aftermarket steering to be used with airbag was just the spline.

I added a couple more pics. I purchased a replacement cover. The airbag assembly needs to go into it.

Look like it slot in place 3 sides with two tabs on each side. Brave person I would be scared blowing into my face.

I have a feeling I am not supposed to swap it and that they literally just sell a cover without telling the customer you won't have an airbag. If that is the case, I better get a refund or I will file a dispute. There is no mention on their website.

I highly doubt it made for airbag in mind. You can see it a breakaway and with the suede it might not pop open or not open as intended.

I don't disagree at this point.

I don’t see any mentions of using airbag or transplanting airbag.

Bingo. Time to go to battle to get my money back.
You might have a hard time with time since the assumption was made on your end. But they also should mention that it is off road use only since it’s not road legal. Good luck.

Thanks. Fortunately, I paid with a credit card and not my bank card.

At the bottom of the page for the air bag cover this is a disclaimer.

As nice as it looks with the suede and the stitching, I don't know if I'd want to use that.

Not sure if that's enough to go off of. There is no mention of the airbag. Their product even has the airbag logo on it.
