Cant thank you enough for this detailed demo including the threading! Every other channel skips that part or the manufacturer has different styles. You’re a life saver for beginners!

Dude! Thanks a ton! I finally pulled the trigger on my Alcantara and just got the stitching done this morning. Took my a little over 95 minutes because I studied this video a few times before diving in! Your the best thanks a ton!

Don’t take off the second side of tape until you have the cover on. You’ll be able to make fine adjustments the take the tape off as you go. Otherwise, you make get buckling.

Anyone who plans to do this I highly recommend taking the steering wheel off, bringing it inside your house, and doing it in a comfortable position. I did this once in my car before and it took like 6 hours of sewing and weird angles. Brought the steering wheel inside the second time and I got it done in 2 hours and was much more easier to get the stitching looking perfect

Just completed mine today (same, swede with top dead center red stripe). 3+ hrs, a few tears, a LOT of sweat but honestly, this video was PERFECT as a guideline! I AM NOT a mechanic but like to play with tools and cars, bikes and bicycles etc. and this was relatively straight forward. Even though I broke the thread AND used ALL loops to thread the cover, I still had left over. Fantastic product; great DIY video for anyone who's ok with a hammer. Final result after breaking the thread (mid-way through the top portion) is: Amazing tight feel. Makes the wheel thicker and so nice to hold in all angles when turning. I LOVE the new series WRX steering wheel and this cover accentuates it.

Thanks for putting this together! Very helpful.

I done this today. With wheel installed on car i fitted the fabric. I then removed airbag then wheel from car, then back plastic piece from wheel my removing 1 screw, then each button assembly and bottom trim piece only have 1 screw each. Very easy to do then you can do it inside if its hot etc

I did did this to my g37, I removed the steering wheel from the car & removes all buttons & trim, double sisded tape under the spoke areas & also baseball stitch instead of every stitch got the job done in about 1.5 hours.

This video is one of the most constructive and helpful one on KZfaq, really good work, thanks for shattering.

I can be pretty critical when it comes to this type of “backyard” instructional video, this is the exception! Your explanations are on point as well as your camera angles. You did a great job!!! I found this video getting ready to cover our ‘15 Forester XT’s steering wheel. These custom fit covers appear to be worth the extra cost. Again, great job and thank you!

That turned out better than I expected. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you 🙏 Amazing explanation.

I just did this last weekend, I tried my hardest to do it without removing the wheel, but in the end I did remove it, it only took 5 minutes to remove once I got the airbag unhooked and as was stated before having the trim out of the way makes it 1000X easier to "tuck" the cover in

Did you install the suede or alcantara cover? I'm trying to figure out what' the difference between the two.

Finally someone who knows what’s up! Well done!

Took me about 3hrs with the wheel attached, a couple of places were difficult to see the back side and I was too stubborn to turn the car on and simply turn the wheel as needed. However if you are thinking about doing this I do recommend it, but also don't be stubborn turn the car on and turn the wheel as needed.

Extremely helpful. Thank you.

This took me 6hrs to do and I was rushing

Thanks for the nice video and I wanted to complain to the seller but now I see that is regular in the area from control keyboard 😅

is the material you used in the video the suede or the alcantara option

So detailed and loved your video !

wait. the oem wheel cover is not removed?

How long did this take?

If you remove the front wheel cover it’s much easier to tuck in the leather and you can also avoid to do damage

You helped immensely!! 🙏

This is a really good tutorial. Thank you

How long did it take you all up?

Used this as a stitching guide for my one mate cheers

My question is why dont people ever cut the stitching and remove the old material?

Thanks for upload

Can you recommend a competent installer in Michigan?

Definitely do not add too much extra string for the last part like he suggests. He's on point everywhere else but if you add too much at the end it will start knotting up

what camera is thid

thank you dude

Can I still do this if my sewing game is shites and my hands are half as nimble as yours? I.e. I can't floss without bleeding my gums out

I chucked mine in the bin because i thought it was to small 😂😂 grabbed straight back out when i see this vid duhhhhh

could you feel the adhesive tape through the cover after you put it on?

Excellent video👍🇦🇺

Way too tedious for me...your result looks good but I think once my wheel is worn to a point where it's bad, I'll just swap the whole wheel. I heard subaru will swap it with a 2018+ wheel or you can swap it with a factionfab wheel. Honestly swapping the wheel looks easier than this.

Wish there was a wrap for 2009 Toyota Camry

Is that cover inside out???

I greatly appreciate the video. I think I will skip this though as the difficulty, sun fading, reports of moving and not being a deep black are a no go for me. Thank you for trying it out so I don't have to.

Seems it would be easier to remove all buttons and trim on the steering wheel prior to install

Perhaps you could start from the bottom when putting it on

Nice video!

Didn't see anything wrong with your original wheel?

How come a 2016 sw can be so cracked/deteriorated. My 2010 Evo X 150k kms has the original leather wheel in perfect condition. Just cleaning it once in a while

My only concern is whether heated steering wheel would still work?

These covers are hit or miss. I installed 2 on an BMW 435i that came out pretty well. Ordered 1 for my BMW M340i and it did not fit at all. Contacted the vendor and they were no help. Beware.

Well done.

*proceeds to clean steering wheel from oil" - "touches with bare hands"

Checked on the website and they don’t have my car model...🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice! Outstanding performance!

Really impressive.

Looks good... Where can I buy it?

I don't think the new subaru's have leather it's just some plastic with a stitching effect on it - and it is total shite. My 2000wrx had real leather and that lasted longer than the car. But my 17 is farked like this.

Superb video. I tried on my car and it took ages🥵🥵. Had I known I would have got that slip on type steering cover.

Do you actually need the tape ?The sewing should be enough

Would have been good to show us how you did the knots. Everything else was good in this video, but the knots if you’ve never sown before is one of the tricker parts. Get that wrong the new cover will eventually unravel.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE

MAKE A WHEEL WRAP FOR 370Z PLS 😭

The soft suede leather looks great for a minute, until it starts getting all that hand oil and dirt on it. You can't simply clean it like smooth leather

i paid bout 5 dollars same thing

A blue Subie wrx? Unheard of.

This car I just love it😊

Super awesome but my goodness so much work 😖

What's a kink? You say kink instead of ? something...I'm guessing a knot?

I don't think I'm gunna be able To do this myself 😑 I just tried following this and I absolutely fucked it all up 😂 I'm gunna just buy a steering wheel cover

That's a steering wheel cover only. You never took the old leather cover out. Not a direct replacement.

Less thab 25$ even

I'll just buy the flat bottom carbon fiber wheel..

Took me 4 hours… so difficult

Booyah 👊🏽 😁 👍🏽 🇺🇸

Should have took the steering wheel off

100 dollars lol- ROBBED

I can't stand Alcantara steering wheels. They work great for grip but they suck for durability. My audi RS7 was 2 years old and the alcantara was already wearing down on my steering wheel. They should use real suede instead of that fake shit or use unpainted top grain leather. $110k car and those A-holes cheap on on materials. Smh

I don't like these covers. Too thick when you're done, looks like shag carpeting. Spend a few extra bucks and replace the steering wheel

Wrx materials are one of the cheapest used. Complete garbage

That'll split suede looks like garbage. It's ridiculous to saddle stitch through stitching that was done by machine

Your definition of "refurbish" differs greatly from what others think of refurbish. This is just masking the problem. The cover is not even close to the original.

This video is a joke. 2021 4 Runner with a 15 1/2 steering wheel. This thing ain't even close to fitting. Horrible product.

What a waste of time for a steering wheel cover! LOL LOL LOL!

has no idea what it does.

That steering wheel looked like trash because it was never taken care of and looks like it was never cleaned at all....

*Expensive product, extremely difficult installation, poor "DYI looking" results. No thanks!*

Just put a screw at the end 😂

I would rather just buy the quality alcantara direct replacement wheel for $450.

thank you dude
