Leather Worn Out

[fhuff]

ARE THERE ANY FIX'S FOR A WORE OUT STEERING WHEEL. THE AREA AT ABOUT 12 OCLOCK IS WORN AND STICKY EVEN AFTER A GOOD CLEANING. I DONT WANT TO PUT ON A COVER AND THE DEALER WANTS $250 PLUS FOR A NEW WHEEL. YOU WOULD THINK THE STEERING COVER WOULD LAST A LITTLE LONGER THAN 38,000 MILES. THE TRUCKS ONLY A 2000.

Dealer replaced mine at about 30,000 miles, under warranty. If they won't replace it, I'd probably just get a nice leather cover and lace it on.

I have about 100,00 on mine and it just has a polished appearance where used the most, instead of a pebbly texture. I use mink oil on it regularly. The standard foam/plastic wheel won't last at all, but with care the leather one is OK. If your hands sweat a lot, or are often dirty, you will have to give it more care to remove the oils and salt.

I tried my darndest to keep lots of conditioner and care for mine and after 150K of holding it almost had holes worn through.



I can highly recomend the "Wheel Skins" from Genos Garage. Seeems like better leather then the factory and it fits like a gove. Very quality replacment.

Here what you do go to your local auto parts store and purchase a leather steering wheel wrap and install it. It will cover the worn out area and give it a build up:{ .
