Review on Drive In Comfort With Valleycomfy Universal 15-Inch Leather Steering Wheel Cover (Black With Anti-Slip Features And Odor-Free Material) by Aaron Gonzales

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit for Dodge Challenger 1320

I bought this wheel cover after reading a bunch of the reviews, and I'm glad that I did. I recently purchased a Dodge Challenger 1320 and wanted a cover for the Alcantara steering wheel that comes on these cars. the factory cover is awesome and has a lot of grip to it, but I knew that my sweaty hands would ruin it over time. I was looking for a cover to keep that from happening.I ordered this cover, and was a bit concerned that people reported it came creased in the packaging. Well, they must've listened to the reviews becasue mine did not come folded and creased at all. It came in a proper sized box and with a plastic insert to help it hold its shape. I've included two pics of how it arrived. You can clearly see the plastic insert. The cover arrived in perfect condition.After opening the box, I left the cover out in the sun for about 15 minutes to warm it up and make it easier to install.I followed the insrtuctions and it went on very easily. Based on other reviews, I was prepared for a fight and tugging match. I was really hoping that I wouldn't damage the cover during install. I had settled in for a long fight and was prepared to have my patience tested. Well.I didn't have a fight at all. I placed the top of the cover on the top part of the wheel and started working it down and around the wheel. I just took my time. As I got closer to the bottom of the wheel, I was concerned that the bottom was really going to be a problem getting it over the last few inches at the bottom. It wasn't a problem at all. I just worked the cover down and as I got to the last few inches, I rolled the lip of the cover closest to the wheel (which I would say was the back of the cover) down. I was able to work the last bit of the cover over the wheel without a fight at all. Once the cover was on, I just did some fine adjusting to it for the fit that I wanted. I think the key was rolling the rear most lip of the cover down and around the wheel as I was going.Now, I know my explanation sounds long, but believe it or not, I had this cover installed in less than 5 minutes. I had read of people really fighting this thing, but that was not my experience at all. Maybe that plastic insert that it ships with is minimizing problems now. I don't know, but this install went remarkably smooth and easy.My steering wheel is now protected from the horrible effects of my sweaty hands. The last two pics are of the cover installed on my wheel. The cover did make my wheel fell kind of thick at first, but after a few days of driving the car, I don't even notice anymore. It feels fine now.I'm impressed by this cover so far, and I hope that it lasts a long time.

Pros
  • Like it great grip and no odor
Cons
  • The cover may damage the steering wheel if not installed correctly
