Question from Dennis
I drive an older 1998 Honda Civic, whether it be the lovely Florida climate or nature of the beast, my steering wheel is disintegrating. The top seems to be the worst there’s fine dust and particles that gets all over my hands and causing me some concern, anytime I drive anywhere I have to look for a rest room to wash my hands off. Which is a whole nother nightmare altogether.
I’ve looked at the few mega marts and auto stores here and all the covers have some kind of rubber backing that I can smell not even picking them up. Not to mention what the material on the top is, etc..
Anyone have any ideas what to do with an old steering wheel, Wool isn’t going to work either as I’m allergic to it, so I’m not really sure what to do.
Debra’s Answer
In the past I have used leather steering wheel covers–the kind you lace on. They come in a perforated type and a solid type. I would think this would hold your steering wheel together and protect your hands.
If you don’t want to use leather, you could simply make a steering wheel cover out of any material you want and sew it on with a big needle and thread, like lacing on a leather cover.
Readers, your ideas?
