    Default Steering Wheel Cover

    Hey everyone. I have this canadian tire cheap steering wheel cover on my mazda. After its starting to wear out. Since steering wheel is the part of the vehicle that gets touched the most. What kinda cover you use to protect it? I heard wheelskins (Leather) are good but can take a time to stitch.

    Sorry but steering wheel covers are terrible. Personally, I can't stand the feel/look of them.
    Have you seen my stapler?

    You could always find a leather Mazda3 steering wheel and replace the entire component.

    Food for thought.

    EDIT: This thread on M3F documents steering wheel removal (with the intent of adding cruise/audio controls, but the core is still valid).

    I actually love my steering wheel cover. I feel it makes it easier for me to turn the wheel

    I like.. I wonder how the fitment's going to be. I like steering wheel covers, makes the wheel thicker and easier to grip.
