Where did you get yours?

 

Black Leather Car Steering Wheel Cover for Infiniti G25 G35 G37 QX50 EX25 EX35 EX37 2008 2013-in Steering Covers from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

 

Interesting. Same packaging yet mine looks and feels dry and the "holes" are not as deep as yours. Chinese kawality kontrol.

 

pretty sure that's just the way the picture is taken, the holes on mine don't look deep either. Mine feels a bit dry also, but that's how new leather is. After a while the oils from your skin and stuff will make it softer.
Also you should wipe it with some cleaner / conditioner like lexol.

 

I used Lexol 2x and will again.

 

I've seen about 10 of these kits and they are all slightly different.

 

Here is mine after steaming the crap out of it. Fits perfectly, nice and tight even at the sides.







Since somebody asked.. here is the process i did.
1. Take off wheel
2. Put the cover over the wheel, line it up.
3. Start stitching the top section of the wheel first, start from a corner. I did ever hole, you could also do every other hole if you wanted to.
4. After the top is done, start one of the bottom 2 sections from a corner.
5. After 2/3 sections are done make sure everything is still lined up, you will probably have to adjust some more
6. After that's all done, either get your steam machine OR if you don't have that dunk it in VERY hot water for a while, after let it dry in the sun or use a heatgun (on medium) or hairdryer to shrink it.
Should be really tight, and you may still need to add 2 sided tape on the side grips and lower spoke.

This video also has good tips

 

^ That's super helpful. I ordered mine from aliexpress, so I will be doing this in 6 weeks.

 

^ Thanks. I don't think it actually took 6 weeks to get mine lol.. more like 2. Got it from ali also.

 

+2 for pics as well!!

 

Ha! I saw that video too. Yours looks nice. I will post before and after pics if I can find a steamer this w/e. Can you describe the steam process you used?

 

Pretty much evenly steam the entire wheel and then press the cover down and into place, keep repeating until its nice and tight. use a hairdryer / heatgun to dry it. And a microfiber.

 

So this is not a small spot treatment?

EDIT
Apparently you can heat up wet rags and lay/tie them around the area to saturate with water and heat with a hair dryer or heat gun. Repeat until desired shrink. Apparently the Indians used to do this. I'm sure they didn't have a hair dryer.

 

lol ^ same concept i guess.
And yea you can do it as a spot treatment, but I just did the whole wheel so it was nice and tight.

 

Ryne,

Which thread matches the Sport stitching on our seats etc?
