Customer Reviews

Difficult Installation
I recently purchased this item and spent 5 HOURS installing it onto my steering wheel. The package comes with instructions, giving three different stitching methods which can be used, along with the cover, the lacing and two needles. I opted for the "cross-stitch", which needs both needles to be completed.

I had gotten about 10 stitches made when one of the needles broke. I had to pull out my work up to that point and begin again with another stitching method. When I had gotten about 75% finished, one of the laces actually pulled completely through the leather cover. I had to improvise a cover-up stitch, which worked, but did nothing to enhance the look of the steering wheel cover. Then, to add insult to injury, the second needle broke with about 8 stitches remaining. Not wanting to remove the cover, I had to go to the store and purchase an additional sewing needle to finish the job.

All in all, the cover looks just "okay", in that it doesn't completely cover my steering wheel. There is a small gap between the inside edges of the leather cover.

Be warned, the needles included are NOT as strong as they need to be and there may be some weakness to the actual leather cover itself. And remember, it also took 5 hours to install! I don't think I would purchase this product again under any circumstances.

Fits like a glove!
The product is well made and the leather is of good quality. The steering wheel cover fits snugly over the factory steering wheel. Because of the number of holes and the difficulty in threading the holes it takes quite a long time to lace up. It took me about 1-2 hours. My only complaint is that where the spokes contact the steering wheel there is no way to keep the cover tight around these areas, resulting in it being a bit loose. Other than these areas the steering wheel looks and feels excellent. For the price it is a good buy if you are looking for a leather steering wheel cover.

Unsuccessful on Jetta
I attempted to use this product on a new-style Jetta. I was unsuccessful. I installed this item in three different ways, three different times, without satisfactory results. The entire cover has the same circumference, including the edges, so there was a lot of bunching and gathering. This may be due in part to the large spoke areas of the Jetta wheels. It may be due in part to the type of material used to manufacture this cover. Other styles that I have used left me with a close-to-professional look. This one was a horrendous mess. Your mileage may vary.
