Has anybody had this problem? How much was it to replace the leather part. Anybody find an aftermarket solution? thanks

Pepboys sells a very nice leather wheel cover for $15. It slips on, then you use the supplied needle and thread, and stitch it all the way around the wheel. takes about 45 min to an hour, but it looks very nice when compleated.

RE: Peeling Steering Wheel...

This happened to my friend's steering wheel. It costs WAY too much to replace it, so he bought a cover as well. It looks tacky, but the only other thing he can do it buy a racing wheel. Just trying to help.

Yep... the rubber is coming off near the top of the steering wheel where I usually grip it.

Time to make a trip down to AutoZone.

Or... if you want a really nice cover, try http://www.wheelskins.com/

They have really nice covers, but a bit more expensive than the PepBoys ones (for obvious reasons).
