    Default Steering Wheel leather Hole Fixes?

    Any? I can't imagine how these things were sewn together.I certainly can't imagine sewing up a new skin myself by hand... I have a quarter size hole now worn to the rubber underlayer right at Twelve O'Clock,where i usually have my hand. Anyone use some Leather wrap tape or something?

    Wheel Skins, they sew on.

    Drum tight, just makes the grip a little thicker

    So you put it over the old skin? Couldn't you remove the old one? Slice the old stiching ? or will the rubber come up then?
