Steering wheel cover

[macatron]

I've never really liked the thinness of the steering wheel in the W116 and mine was starting to dry out on top of it.  I could have gotten a new wheel but for the money it would cost it is off my priority list of fixes.  Besides, a new wheel would still be on the thin side.  So...I stitched on a cover made by Wheelskins.  I love the way it turned out and I'll post some pictures as soon as I get a chance.  It's leather and feels like quality.

Anyone else tried one?  I highly recommend.

The absolute first thing I added to El Rey Cant imagine a wheel without one. I've had mine for several years and it looks and feels the same if not better  than the day I stitched it on.

Here is a photo (link) of a wheelskin on my 280SE. The stitching makes it nice...

Very nice!  Good job on the install.  Only had my phone camera with me so the photos are blurry but thought I'd share mine.



Incidentally, I can tell the PO of my car was a left-handed driver.  The finger bumps at the 11:00 position are worn flatter than the rest.  It's not because of an ill-fitting cover.
