I found out earlier today that putting on a steering wheel cover is one of the most annoying things I have ever had to do. I mean I busted up my hands worse then I do during an engine swap.

I hope I'm not the only person who had this problem but I had to do it. Top of my steering wheel was sticky and left black stuff on my hands.

Please tell me I'm not alone.

 

I've never bothered with one ................ don't see anything positive about one.

 

i have a steering wheel cover in my ranger... the original red wheel was sticky and the cover leaves stuff on my hands, but not nearly as much... i had to wedge the thing on, but it does have a positive side other than not being sticky... the stock steering wheel has a tiny diameter rim which didn't feel very sporty at all and the cover made the rim feel thicker and gives me a better grip on the wheel when chucking the truck into corners...


sorry for the novel...

 

Yeah the Saturns have a tiny wheel too. Its much more fitting now. I would never put one on a new wheel. Just because it had issues. Guess the sun got to it.

But on another note the leather (fake maybe idk) on the cover has a horrible smell i didnt smell in the store. But now that its in my car. Wow! Its like a mix between a gassy or oily smell. Its makes my hands smell like it. I hope it goes away. Anyways I guess I'm never happy

 

i do NOT want to know the origin of the black sticky stuff on your steering wheel

 

LOL.

I can only assume its the wheel itself or the covering. Its just deteriorating from the sun and use with age i guess. Who ever owned it prior to me really liked to hold the wheel on the top.

 

I remember that the car I had done my 6hrs of driving in to get my permit had such a messed up steering wheel, the guy took sandpaper and sanded it even. It felt like a wet sponge and formed to your hand (that part was pretty cool) but it was funky. We even had to stop to put oil in it hahahaha.

I tried a steering wheel cover on the saturn, I didnt like it, It felt too big to me.

 

I like the stearing wheel cover with finger groves all around it, and keeps the feel to stock, their at auto zone.

 

mine i bought at Advance Auto, and it's supposed to simulate ostrich skin... really, it's black leather with dimples...

 

If I have to get one, I use the thin ones with the holes in them. Don't like the fat ones.
