    Does anyone know the part number for the part circled below? Mine is all scratched up from the previous owner and I'd like to replace it. Thanks.

    be sure to check your VIN as there are several different part numbers, for different country models I would presume.

    If you are talking about the metal surround, would you consider trying to polish it
    You could use a kitchen scouring pad or a Brillo pad to just buff out the scratches.
    Then finish with some metal polishing compound

    honestly, that's a part that will turn sticky. So instead of sourcing another piece of plastic that will get sticky in the future, it's cheaper to send it out to get refinished so all the scratches are taken care of together with the stickiness. I had that done last year, both the upper and lower steering wheel column covers as well as some other interior parts

    Okay I now understand that the part is the steering column surround plastic trim. It comes in two halves, I had sticky disease and similar scratches. I used alcohol pads and cleaned it up. I’m happy with the result. But the other way is to buy new trim, or send the old trim to Sticky No More

    I’m not sure, but if the steering wheel is to be removed, then you might be better off having a trained tech do the work, esp with the airbag.
