Scratch on Steering wheel..... :(

mattchubb1 · 02-20-2011, 11:46 AM

Hiya,

Just noticed that my steering wheel has two marks on it... about an inch or two long.... almost like the leather has been pinched.... which is really annoying!!! Haven't got a clue how it was done.... i only get to drive it at the weekends as its the wifes car. I've tried to take a couple of pics - but it hasnt come out well...

I'll try and take a better pic in a bit...

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this? and knows how to resolve?

Thanks
Matt

Use some liquid leather.

Hi mate I know a guy who retrims these wheels at a cost of £115 all in fitted. He's based out in Surrey.

I've had mine done and please trust me the quality of work is superb. I get nothing out of recommending him. But I'd do so to anyone.

Drop me a PM if you want his details.

Dave.

Sorro to hijack the thread but I have a tiny nick on my steering wheel where I think onr of my finger nails has caught it. Any ideas how to fix it, a mate said clear nail varnish. You can't see it as it's at the bottom of the wheel but you can sometimes feel it.

Never mind, could be worse. You could be homeless tonight without any food in your belly since Friday.
