steering wheel cover

[tone]

Every winter , when the damp weather sets in , my steering wheel gets all sticky until the temperature reaches normal in the cabin - it's the original steering wheel ( 1989 2.1 ) . Is there somewhere I can buy a cover that fits ( preferably red ) - all ones advertised are too small and I want to keep the van as close to original as I can.

Hopefully someone can steer me in the right direction

Use some hand cleaner and a clean rag or 3 and it will save you from advanced Chavdom

I've used all types of cleaner without much effect - we've a red interior theme - red seat covers ,curtains etc so thought a red steering wheel cover would fit in without looking chavvy

Plenty of leather on ebay - doesn't take long to knock one up. Only a dozen stitches needed for the ends and a hole punch for the lacing (which you can make from the same leather).

Nice sew-on leather ones were on sale via eBay at about £18 quid. Mine was black, I dont know if other colours were available though. Looks and feels good though and better than shagged out plastic.

We have the same problem on our steering wheel, baby wipes do the trick.

I baby wiped mine. It was b awful. I got black streaks on my belly for ages and it made it even stickier. I ended up just warm soapy water and rags to wipe it down.

I had the same issue so I stitched on a black leather cover. It looks great and feels really nice. Was quite tricky as I'm a novice stitcher but very happy with it. Been on there a couple of years.

I also fitted a 4 speed golf leather gear stick knob to finish it of. Both look and feel nice to use.

Think I'm getting a leather fetish...

I asked one of the sellers on eBay if they did one for a T3 they asked for diameter of wheel and grip and produced one that fits very well, I stitched it on and it's been on a few years now and very happy.

I could get you one done in hide by a rolls Royce factory trained trimmer(when there was craftsmen in there), think it was a 8hr job in the 70s to do one, they .Not cheap but quality .

I think it was years of accumulated dirt n sweat. It was solid before I baby wiped it but that just made it sticky and no matter how hard I rubbed I couldnt get the sticky stuff off. Result every time I drove it after becuase Im a short a*** and the wheel is just about touching my belly I got black streaks.

Oldbut goodie I have phrased this very carefully so hopefully I will NOT be going back into the out of context thread.
