Steering wheel leather fix?

[Mopar man]

hey guys 2014 ram with the heated steering wheel. The leather is pretty worn down and discolored in certain spots. Would like to know if there is a way to fix this or what do you guys do? Get it recovered at a shop, purchase a new wheel? I would throw a cover on it but I can’t use the heated wheel if I do that

I put a Wheelskin leather cover on mine: I like a meaty wheel. The steering wheel heater works as well with it, although a little bit slower to warm to full heat.

If I was having that issue the first thing I would do is a Wheelskin as Barney said. They are super nice. I've had them on vehicles in the past.

Highly recommended. Just spend your time measuring it, getting the right size AND take it slow putting it on. Its a bit of an arduous process but well worth it.

Let me add...its not super tough to put it on, just make sure its tight. You have to keep threading the leather with a dull needle and a waxy heavy duty cord. It won't wear...I had one on an older vehicle I had for years without issue.

Here is a good install video for you to review to see if this is something you want to try:


Good luck!

Have you tried cleaning the wheel with a magic eraser yet?

I’d start there before buying anything
