Wanted Steering Wheel Cover

[JerryB]

2006 XLT: Bought used with a steering wheel cover.

It is finally showing lots of wear, so I would like to replace it.

The ones I see at the auto parts stores are really wimpy as compared to the one I have.

Any suggestions as to where to look for a new 'heavy duty' (meaning thick) one?

I got something from wheelskins and recovered mine. I'm happy with it.

Mine is the same way. Sure like to find a good new cover, short or replacing the whole steering wheel! Anyone have any pictures of what they have and if they like it or not? Color is camel.

BTW, what does it look like under the original cover? Anyone ever removed the leather cover? Pretty ugly? I see the wheelskins on ebay and was thinking of taking off the original and replacing w/the wheelskins cover. Any opinions?

I suppose you could peel the old cover off, but I didn't bother. If you are patient and take your time it comes out looking good.
Mark the inside every 5 or 6 holes to keep it aligned on the wheel while you're stitching. a crochet needle is helpful to pull the stitches tight
