Amazing job....i really liked the way you explain everything...

I know the video is old but it's the only video I have found that actually explains how to do this and is straight to the point.

I bought this same kit for my 1998 Dodge Van and will be doing this job in a few minutes so, thank you very much for your tutorial. Your video was very clear and to the point.

Looks great, thank you. The little tool makes all the difference. These covers are much better than the overly thick ones that snap over the wheel.

Though I've done several installations the car that needs a new cover now has wider spokes than the others. Your treatment looks like an improvement over my previous jobs. Thank you.

Just wanted to say thank you so much! I followed your method and was able to stitch a leather cover on my 2009 RAV4. It feels so much better now. The hook tool was clutch!

Best steering wheel cover video I have seen! Nice work!

the way you explain make it's really easy to understand and not as intimidated as I thought it would be. So thank you.

That was very good! Definitely clears things up for me! I seen one of these on someone’s car and it was done poorly. I assumed it was due to it not fitting very well but after you showed the process, I realized it was operator error, this looks very good for a cheap DIY. I hate snap on steering wheel covers. Thank You!

Thank you for the helpful video! The tip to use the hook tool was gold. Wouldn't have been able to make it fit snug and tightly without it.

OK, couldn't have gotten it done without your help, came out just great and took two hours. Also i found for me having the stitches at the bottom helped so moved the steering wheel a quarter turn as I went. Only issue was mfg was thrifty with their thread, would have been easier with more thread. THANK YOU

Can I just say your microphone/audio quality is fantastic. Great video thank you

great explanation of the whole procedure and looks awesome

Beautifully executed both the method & your presentation, so easy to understand that even this 2 left handed clown might give this a go! Thank you very much.

why am i here, i dont even have a car.

Great job on explaining..I'm sold on this style now ..thank you!

Nice and comprehensive, great video.

Amazing tutorial! Thank you 🙏

Good detail. Thanks for your knowledge.

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot. Now two of my cars have that new steering wheel feel to it. 👍

Excelente video, me fué muy útil. Thanks!!

Finally a video that’s easy to understand! Thank you!

Easiest and best video on KZfaq, thank you good Sir

Thank you so much for sharing this! SO HELPFUL!!

Best video on this so far 👍🏼

This is the best video I have seen on this upgrade. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. Saw a few of them, but you had the best explanations of how to do it.

You made that look very easy to do thank you for the detailed video

Great job very helpful thank u so much I like how you explain the process step by step 👍🏽

Hells to the naw naw naw going back with that hook. Make sure the stitches are tight as you go.

After doing this on my car, I gotta give a few tips: 1. Be careful with the hook tool because if you poke at the string itself, you can damage its integrity and potentially cause it to break. If your string breaks, just start a new loop and make sure you tie the end of the broken string and tuck it under the wrap. 2. Make sure to start early during the day. I had to go back and forth because I didn't tighten the string correctly. 3. Make sure the steering wheel is wrapped tightly or you will feel it when you start driving again.

Had this video saved for months and just right NOW I Finally finished the job!! Okay so a bit of backstory, the showroom guys gave the steering cover as accessories NOT sewn (fr who tf does that) but we ended up just giving it up to them during a service. When I go to receive the car I see the sloppiest job ever done in the history of covers. I cut the thread and took it off as soon as I got home and it was just left since. Back then I did training in a tyre factory, and I got hold of nylon plies used for tyres. So last night I started the job using the very thicc ass thread. It was too thick and short to loop the needle the whole way, So ended up just looping it at the needle and super gluing the end to the line. The thread was too short to cover the whole wheel, so had to super glue the end to a 2nd one again and continue lol. Surprisingly that shit's strong. At the end the thread was way too thick to loop or knot, so ended up just tightening it to the max and gluing the end at the last holes once again. But finally it turned out better than I expected!! It isn't the best there is but I'm happy how it turned out. Also pro tip: You can use a small flathead screwdriver to tighten the thread if you don't have the hook thing.

Thanks, I'll try it. Great video

Thanks for the vid! However, I’ve wrenched on some customer’s cars where releasing the schmoo off the steering wheel would require significantly more chemical action than a damp rag - more like a flaming cocktail of acetone, Lysol, and Raid.

Nice video on the subject! Probably one of the best I have seen!

Great video! Thank you! I just got the samecover as you have

cool. very straight forward. thank you for the video

Thank you Sir!

Dude thank you for helping me!

If you watch the installation video for the really-expensive Wheelskin brand covers, they have a better way to start/finish the job: they have you leave a length of thread before the first hole and after the last so you can tie the two together and tuck the small knot into the cover. Seems a little easier and maybe neater than in this video. Overall, this was a great video, especially the part demonstrating the measurements.

Thank you 😊

Bonus points for the AvE shirt!

Well done and informative. In the middle of my install and here's what I've run into: - the website says to use the circumference measurement of the largest portion of the wheel, like the palm swell. I did that but you end up with way too much material to overlap on the smallest portion of the wheel. I had to put in a 2nd set of holes on one side and trim off 1/2 inch. - the needles are brittle. I broke one trying to bend an arc in it like someone mentioned which is a good idea to make it easier to push. The needle snapped but I was able to use the stub that was left. That was until I used a small pair of needle nose pliers on the eyelet end to push it thru and the eyelet end broke. On to the 2nd needle supplied. I stayed away from the eyelet end with the pliers and it seems a few of the holes were tight causing the eyelet end to flex and the 2nd needle broke, with one side of the eyelet breaking off. The needles are way too brittle. - on hold until I get another needle or two at Hobby Lobby if they're still in business. - the website shows using a single strand of thread and this video shows the thread doubled which I did for strength. You will NOT be able to do the entire wheel with only one piece of thread. You'll have to splice the second piece of thread onto and may need to cut it back so the splice is hidden on the underside and not on the exposed portion of a loop.

Good detail. Thanks 👍

A great job

My one recommendation as someone who’s sewn leather it would’ve been much better to run a back stitch on either side and using those loops as the binding point

brilliant many thanks

Great video thank you sir

Top notch video

Thank you! Watching this for my t150 that I just ordered for racing games the wheel its plastic and want to cover it with this so i I don’t feel the plastic

Great job looks good

For everyone who lives near a Harbor Freight, they have a 4 pack of slightly different picks and hooks, like the one in this video, for just 99 cents. You need a coupon, and I have always found coupons available at their stores. This coupon is good until September 3rd, 2020.

Did a great job explaining!!!

Thanks for the lesson

Very nice job. I'm about to do this upgrade to my 99 ranger due to the wheel feeling "sticky" (it's gross). Did you stitch on the back side where the spokes are? Or just along the front?

Really useful video, I went on to purchase one of these covers and it turned out really well 👍

Good Job! Looks good. Thanks for posting.

Nice camera work.

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

Great explanation I'm sharing it with a girlfriend that needs some help but I probably would have used my curved leather needles the whole time. Thanks!

thank you very good tutorial and great editing sub like

Good video, thanks.

Nicely done, mate! This is the * only * video I have seen with someone sewing through the holes in the steering wheel cover. With all the other videos, the narrator is just sewing through thread that is already attached to the cover. That seems like a really bad design, as it would be easy to rip the old thread with the new thread. . Here is a tip for everyone. I have a * curved * needle. This is easier on your hand, as you have more to push against. You're not constantly working to grip a narrow, straight needle. Of course, any fabric store will have curved needles.

Man this was super helpful and easy to follow, thank you.

Just for ya all, the way you stich it really comes down to how you want to look it. There are several ways how you can do it, this is most simple way what doesn't look best, but looks good enough and makes job done really well Then there are those fancy stiches you can find on factory cars but they require lot of experience BUT then again, you really got to think about whenever you want to make it look good as well as functional or just functional I am planning on doing this to my gaming steering wheel as I got one from my cousin and factory wheel doesn't feel best, have this smooth plastic with rubber grips on sides so I wanna protect rubber as well as make it more grippier to make better turns with truck Either way it all comes down to preference so if you want something what suits you, nobody can really learn you that, you got to just commit and if you do lil oopsie then learn from that and do it again until you're satisfied, never satisfy with just half job done but do it the way you want it really to be

Thank you for the video

Great Job

You got a like and this comment for the AVE shirt! Now I will need to watch more videos to try and catch a TOT reference!!

Nice video explaining details. My question is when you sewed through the front spoke did you do the same for the back side and how?

Again a very very good observation & that is l just noticed you didn't mention after unfolding the thread bundle & putting thread through the eye of the needle the thread seems to be a a Double thread pattern and not the typical single thread pattern for soeing and that's how the double thread can be tied into a proper double knot ,It appears you forgot to mention a very important step for stitching covers like this because the DOUBLE thread design works dually as a tightener and a holding thread. You just simply said now you thread the thread through the needle without saying what's actually happening like now you thread the DOUBLE thread through the needle.

"Just stretch it around..." yes if you are a man this I'm sure is fairly simple. :) Mine, not so much. Glad I have a brother though who will probably be doing this for me. Appreciate the helpful video sir.

Great video

Great video !! 😎👍🏼

Nice !

Right, I think I'll get started after breakfast. Thanks.

What if you have a spoke directly on the bottom, how would you start in that situation?

Awesome 👌🆒️🙌

Great job!!! Exactly the online class that I needed to watch. Thank you for your remarkable work

Thank you sub'd and liked

Nice work

Thanks so much for the education, the quality of the video is superb!!

Is there any specific type of thread to be used if I want use different colours? For example, nylon, silk or cotton threads? Or whether regular sewing threads will work fine for this work? Please suggest.

Excellent Video, Really will help with my 1985 Porsche 928 Steering Wheel. Thank You

great video

great

Hi did you double the thread on the needle or is it a single thread?. Thanks

I picked up a leather cover at the junk yard now I need the thread what kind do you recommend.I do have thick needles just need thread. nice video. and thanks for sharing

The first thing that should be done is dump the needle that comes with the kit and get a Curved needle, makes it 300% easier

If you're doing this repair on a factory leather wrapped steering wheel, is it best to cut the old (factory) cover off, or just go over it?

I like this except for the blue string, i think black would be nicer and more subtle

Great video, now where can I order the correct size for my steering wheel. 1988 Olds, 14 5/8 inches in diameter and 2 3/4 inches around.? thanks

What other easy upgrades to you like to do on older cars?

What brand of cover is that? I can only find pu leather pre stitched ones

is there enough space/slack to put a heating element underneath?

How did you secure Wrap on back side of spokes in wheel? I only saw front done..thks..jc

Just to make sure- the part of the steering wheel cover behind the spokes- those holes aren't threaded?

I would like to know the part number cause I want the blue thread , having a hard time finding one with blue thread

Nice work. I was waiting for you to jam that needle through your finger somewhere along the line.

Does the backside get threaded at 9:23?
