The steering wheel on my Max is too slippery--especially in cold weather. Even when it's warmed by its heating element. My hands are at least average in strength, and I have to grip it very tightly to keep it from slipping when turning it. My 97 Escort has a softer steering wheel that doesn't give me any problems. Anybody else have this problem?

 

clean it? i usually use 1 finger

 

DeusExMaxima swapped out his steering wheel for an aftermarket one. Why don't you?

I'll buy your old one if its black

 

Buy a tweetie bird ribbed rubber steering wheel at walmart for 6$.

 

I don't have a slip problem with the '06 wheel, but a disappointment has been that the horn button is in the center. My '01 max had buttons around the spokes of the wheel, much easier & safer to use because you don't have to remove your hand from the wheel to toot the horn.

 

Yes I swapped mine for a Japanese 350Z Nissan factory optional MOMO steering wheel and LOOOOVE it. Its much better made and looks awesome.

 

Actually I too find my 07max's steering wheel lot stiffer than my other ones (95, 02, 04). is there anyway to soften it up?

 

this dude is hilarious,lmmao

 

my fourth gen wheel was totall worn out, I bought wrap from wheelskins.com. http://www.chicagomaximaclub.net/showthread.php?t=6543 I really like it. This pic doesn't do it justice, it looks like stock in normal light. It's high quality leather so it's soft. Might be easier than swithching wheels.

Dues, does your airbag thing still come on?

 

lol...

 

He used a resistor to fix the issue.

 

Airbag light is on cuz of the recaro seats, not from steering wheel.

LOL.. I have no issue with my wheel slipping at all. MY wife has no issue either.. Is all the leaher on your wheel gone. Try a hello kitty wheel cover..

 

Put some skateboard grip tape on it.

 

Haven't you seen the movie Little Giants where the kid couldn't catch a football?

 

++1 I was just thinking the same thing, bought a cheap cover it didn't fit. I'll check out the wheel skins site.........Or just get some driving gloves, yeah that's it, some driving gloves LOL

 

My 04 max steering wheel is really easy to grip and handle imo... and I have sweaty hands, and I'm 115 pounds wet.

I dont know what could be wrong with yours. Maybe someone used leather conditionner?

 

maybe u gotta stop eatin fries and drivin at the same time...

prolly all greasy lol jk but i donno what could be the factor... i agree with the guy above "

Actually even though I LOVE my steering wheel, I use driving gloves to protect the leather some. They look pretty cool too

 

Deus -- what did you do with your cruise control buttons? I like your 350 wheel, but I gotta have my cc.

 

I would just simplifly and use a hand strap

 

LMAO!!!

 

How about....LOL

 

That is some OLD school gear some here won't remember. My grandfather had one on his light blue 1969 Pontiac Catalina and he had a compass stuck on the front windshield--- pre-navigation days.

 

Damn - had not seen these ^^^ in a while....

 

A necker's ****! why didn't I think of that before??? If I can find one in majestic blue, that would be perfect! BadBlackMax, you are truly Da Man!!!

 

Love the *****!

 

I have no cruise and I rarely miss it. Only when I go on long hauls up the state to bay area. Im considering swapping in the 09 Maxima steering wheel.

 

hey deus, I helped a frind relocate his cruise controls buttons, to the steering column, right behind the steering wheels, it looks clean and is not no hard to do, his car is a 240 though, so we have to get a wire diagram for our cars.

 

Can you get me pics? Im interested in that. How bout radio ***** too?
