Enhanced Performance Genuine Leather Steering Wheel Cover by PILOT Automotive - SW-101 Review

It was the 3rd that I bought for two cars and was generally satisfied with the cover. My wife liked the one I put in my car so much she wanted the same one in hers. The one in my car recently (about 18 months) had to be replaced because it had a tear in the skin near one of the stitching. It wasn't worth doubting its durability; However, the new case, which arrived quickly, has a strong SMOKE odor as if it survived a fire, which the previous two purchases did not. Was there a fire in the…

The flat black leather steering wheel cover is excellent. The look and feel of the black interior with saddle is perfect for our Cr-V. The only suggestion is to understand that it will not slide easily on your steering wheel. I tried the warm-up technique without much success, so I combined the warm-up with a flat 3/4 inch stick and pressed the skin into place. Combining my technique with heat made this a breeze. If you are not very strong, it will be very difficult to put the cover on. Okay…

Really good update. I just took a long interstate trip and really wish I had this car for a LONG trip. My arm still hurts from the long ride and the small 15 inch handlebars. The new car had an undersized steering wheel, which literally made long drives a real pain. When I came back I asked for something better, so I got this leather steering wheel. Wheel Cover I deserve this because of all the pain I've been through. It may not cover the entire handlebar from the inside, but I'm telling you…

It's good but it's not leather. I've constantly wondered why so many things labeled "leather" are so often (and obviously) synthetic, and why these manufacturers get away with calling it that. Last year my friend in the leather business explained this to me with great bitterness. Apparently there is a federal criterion that allows manufacturers to label something as "leather" if it contains at least 10% leather content. Basically they can mulch real leather, mix it with synthetic/plastic which…

Bought this for my truck in 2014 and to date (2020, 6 years old) this cover is still going strong. Hot or cold, it hasn't lost its power yet. After all this age and wear and tear, it still doesn't slip like many cases do when they're brand new and used. Admittedly, it's not as surprisingly comfortable as it was to begin with, but it's still way better than any steering wheel cover. I repair cars for a living (11 years) and I see covers (or lack thereof) that people put on their steering wheels.

I bought this steering wheel cover to replace my old one which was too loose and fell apart and I am very happy with it. Other reviewers note that this cover was difficult to wrap around the steering wheel and required a lot of effort to install. Personally, I had no trouble, and she sat at the wheel of my 2010 Mazda 5 for five minutes. I think my car's steering wheel is a little smaller than average and that's probably why I was able to finish fitting it so quickly. Despite the apparently…
