Steering Wheel Leather

tomblaze679 · 06-18-2007, 11:36 PM

Ok...so i bought my SI used and didn't notice this when i bought it, but the steering wheel leather is sort of "ripped" in a few spots. The little tears/rips aren't really noticeable to anyone else, however i feel them everytime i let the wheel slide through my hands. Is there any way to get a replacement for just the leather piece?...and is it gonna cost way too much and be a PITA to uninstall and reinstall?

Bump. No one knows?

It is about 58 bucks you can do it yourself

mine is like that too and i bought it new. Get the cover from the above link...

tomblaze679 · 06-19-2007, 10:31 PM

ok, but that is just a cover?....and it says it isn't for the si?

i was hoping to replace the original leather, probably not possible or extremely difficult i guess.

mine has a bit of it... it actually scratches quite easy... i think i rubbed it against a jacket zipper...
it used to bother me... i don't care anymore.

I'm glad it doesn't bother the two of you, but unfortunately it bothers me and your posts are useless info in reference to what i was asking for help with. Maybe thats a little harsh but i'm asking for help replacing the leather, not whether or not it bothers anyone else.

buy it from college hills honda and read the instructions to install a new one then.

There was a question brought up that i'd like to know as well. Can this cover be used over the original Si leather or should the old Si leather be removed?

Here are the instructions,
