Belinous Leather Steering Wheel Cover Lace Up, Stitch On Wrap, Universal Fit 13-20 inch Car Truck SUV Pickup Boat, A Whole Piece of Cowhide, DIY Stitch w/Needle Thread (Size M4, Black)

My original steering wheel was pitting and feels horrible to the touch. This leather covering made a night and day difference. Hope it last. Will update review if it doesn't.I used the baseball stitch as per the included instruction sheet that lead to a YouTube video. It is very simple to install. It just takes time to complete.Tips:1) I used a ratcheting clamps to hold down the completed section so that it doesn't unravel.2) A mirror came in handy to see the holes on the back side of the steering wheel.3) Put on the radio while you stitch this together. Be careful to not drain your car's 12v battery, since this will take hours to complete. I attach a 12v charger to the battery to keep the battery topped off while in accessory mode.4) Size S4 fits perfectly for a 2007 Prius. It may seem too small, but the leather will stretch a bit when pulling the stitch tight.

Authentic feel and smell of leather. Took around an hour to install, but oddly satisfying. If I were to do it again, I wouldn’t have gone straight through the holes around the cross sections of my steering wheel. Pulling the line tight in those sections made the leather scrunch up a little bit. Didn’t read the instructions until after, it states to put “dummy stitches” in that area. Would’ve likely came out better had I done that. All in all, a great product. Doesn’t slide around like other aftermarket covers, feels better than my stock wheel and looks 10 times better than my old worn out wheel. For those wondering, I installed mine on a 2005 Tacoma— bought the L4 version. No slack, fits perfect. I imagine most tacomas would use that size. Another thing to look out for is the overlapping of leather when pulling the thread tight. Make sure to lay one side over the other so it’s not at random. The result will be a lot more uniform and feel better on the hands. Definitely recommend for the price.

Be prepared to spend some quality time with your steering wheel. I have installed three of these now on various types of steering wheels, and they all turned out great. On my 1962 Corvair with the original thin steering wheel, I used a straight across stitch (see photo). On my GMC truck and Toyota Camry, which have the newer padded steering wheels, I used a baseball stitch. Not to brag, but I'm kind of proud of the finished product. However, like the title says, don't hurry through the job. I spent an average of 3 hours on each one, with multiple "trips" around the wheel, tightening the thread in minute amounts each time. On the Camry which has "thumb bulges" at approximately the 10/2 positions, there was quite a bit of pulling to stretch the leather over the bulge, but it is quite capable of handling the stretch. I highly recommend this brand of real leather steering wheel cover. Everyone who drives these cars has commented on how much they like the feel and the grip.

The leather I received was beautiful. Soft and supple, smells nice, good thickness. The needles and thread that came with were also good. Strong waxed thread. Unfortunately, the leather tore just as I was completing stitching. It may have been my fault for pulling too hard, but honestly I don't think I pulled all that hard. I'm giving a rating of 4 stars based on the suspicion that it was my fault. 1 star off for the possibility that it wasn't my fault.Stitching it on is laborious. That's just the nature of the task. Also, there's no good way to finish the leather edges around the steering wheel spokes. Dummy stitches help dress it up, but it still doesn't look professional. I suppose you could glue it down...I haven't tried that but frankly I'd be scared to. Really, you just need to be OK with loose edges around the spokes.

The quality of this cover is outstanding. The materials provided and the instructions provide for a very satisfying installation and final product. Yes this takes time to install, it requires sewing over 100 stitches to complete and takes time, and requires patience and attention to detail to get the stitching tension consistent. If you are willing to take the time to install this cover you will be more than pleased with the installation, the feel and the durability of this cover. If you do not have the patience then do not order. It is not fair to give a one star review for an excellent product just because it takes significant effort to install.

Quick shipping and perfect quality. Q&A was helpful too. I had a leather steering wheel already but it is from 2017 so it was warm down. I cannot complain at all with the results. Watch a YouTube video first but it’s fault easy to stitch. Note: I did it once and didn’t like my stitch work so I just undid it and restitched

The item was just as described. It came with good instructions and links to videos, and installed wonderfully/easily. It is working very well--to the point it has 'molded' to my steering wheel and looks close to factory. It came with several amounts of thread in case you mess one up--one took care of the whole installation, but I did a simply hitch which didn't a lot of thread.

I used a LO 40*6.7 black w/red thread on my 70 VW baja beetle. Used a cross stitch. Came with three lengths of thread and needles. The third looked a little short, but i never needed it. I did use the third needle as when I got about 3/4 the way around the loop in the second broke off. The needles appear to be made out of cheap pot metal or aluminum. Took about three hours like they said and that's with the wheel on a bench which I suggest. I'm happy how it turned out. If this wears out I hope these are still available.
