AllTopBargains Grey Universal Steering Wheel Cover Lace-On Cushion Grip Accessory Auto Vehicle

I should have done this years ago. Our 20 year old Ford Sport Trac still had the factory original 15" leather steering wheel cover and it was super nasty. I cut it off and the foam underneath was melted and slimy. It took me another hour to clean that nasty foam off using acetone. Once the steering wheel was clean it actually looked good but it was a little too thin and smooth so I decided to put a new cover on it. I choose this cover because it is very affordable and it also looks very nice and feels nice in my hands with good grip and cushion.The cover seemed too small but I easily stretched the cover over the steering wheel a little at a time. On a cold day it might help to lay it in the sun first. The first time I laced it my lace was a couple inches short; so I re-laced it but the second time I kept strong tension on the lace the whole time and I ended up cutting about 12 inches off after tying the ends. The result was a tightly laced cover that doesn't shift around.

I’m sure I could have read the description a little closer before buying it, so this isn’t a dig on the company exactly… but I can’t help wondering why on earth they would assume anyone would want a wrapping cover for a steering wheel that fits like a slip on cover. Doesn’t that kinda defeat the purpose of the extra effort it takes to wrap the string around it? Also, I drive a 2003 Honda civic, so it’s not like my steering wheel is abnormally thick. Perhaps there is some demand for this, but I found it annoying. It’s cheap, so it’s fine that it didn’t work. Not worth the hassle of trying to get a refund. Hopefully this helps someone else not make the same mistake.

I love this type of wheel cover. The color is great and it is very comfortable. I just wish the lace was longer.

This style of cover has always been my favorite and seems to be getting harder to find. This one came with just barely enough lace. Had to space the loops farther apart at about 1 1/2 in instead of the 1 in I'd gotten used to and expected. A couple of more feet would have been nice. This left the install feeling a little loose so I paid about $5 for a spool of lace and gave it a second go around, putting a neat pattern of cross-looping and making a nice, tight install. That shouldn't have been necessary though. Otherwise, the cover fitted just fine, seems rugged and well-made, and provides a nice, slightly cushy, secure grip that I've grown to love with these lace-ons.

It looks good on the steering wheel and makes it feel warmer on cold days. Also it helps to hold on to the steering wheel.
