is anyone's leather on the steering wheel peeling or flaking off?? Mine had 1500 miles on it and on the bottom of the wheel it has started to peel.

 

But seriously, could you give us a better idea of exactly what is happening?

Inquiring minds (who happen to also have IX's) want to know....

 

i'll take pics tomorrow

 

mine has a slight tear/peeling on the bottom. 9 mr with 2k miles

 

So does mine, but hay thats cuz i drive it

 

I am going to the dealer on wednesday for them to look at it and get them to order a new one

 

Have you ever put leather conditioner or armour all on the steering wheel since you owned it?

 

Avoid Armor-All on real leather. I've heard it wreaks havoc on it (and some people say not to put it on vinyl, either).

 

mine is doing the same thing around the bottom. i had the wheel too low for a while and would keep brushing off my leg as i got in.

oh well, i've been looking for an exscuse to buy a ix steering wheel with the black spokes anyways.

 

====for an update====

My dealership looked at it and said we'll have to get you a new one, that shouldnt be doing that... So i got the call today that it arrived and they are putting it on

 

I just noticed that I also have a slight tear on mine at the bottom as well. I'd take a guess its because whenever I get out, I sometimes brush my legs on it, but its hardly noticeable.

Anyone know where I could purchase a steering wheel cover for it? All the ones that I find are way too big for the Momo wheel and it would just slide around.

 

2,300 miles on mine; treated with Lexol once or twice: Great shape; no peeling or problems.

 

My IX MR was doing the same thing shortly after I got it. There's a seam along the bottom of the wheel where the leather meets. I cut the peeling edge with some cuticle clippers, but I still feel it lifting occasionally. I may have to take it in. I've put up with it for over 6,000 miles.

 

i already had mine replaced.

 

bought my 8 on 6/05... 16k miles and my steering wheel seems like new
