Did you just bought a steering wheel cover to just show that you don't like steering wheel covers? damn man, that's commitment. i love you.

Just a safety warning, some vehicles have a capacitor for the airbag circuit that can hold voltage for up to 30 minutes after the battery is disconnected. Don't want anybody getting killed from an unintended airbag deployment 👍 Always follow manufacturer specified steps for removing your airbag

Hey Chris an easy way to reverse engineer that steering wheel cover is with the old one. Since yours came off in an easy manner if you add a little bit of steam to the old on and flatten it on you can actually just trace the old covers pattern onto the new material and it will have an even tighter fit to the wheel. Also for the seam when you stitch both ends together instead of knotching out in the rubber on the wheel if you press the seam open it will lay flush without having to remove any rubber. You can usually press a seam open with an iron. If the material you are working with should not be ironed directly use a low heat setting on an Iron and a piece of cotton cloth on top the press it open. This step does take a little more effort however the front stitching where the seam is will look really smooth and clean with the added work. If you ever tackle any more upholstery just remember to press open your seams after you sew them. This just helps all the seams to lay flat and flush, if you are doing a top stitch on anything you can also top stitch after you press the seam and this will help the material look super clean and flush. Enjoy :D

I"ve watched your videos for years. You've taught me how to charge my AC and get an old S10 working like a champ. Now, I've got a 03 Mustang GT and chiseling away at some projects and here you are! Thanks for this archive of awesome! I hope things are all going your way!

After 2 years, he still replies. That’s why you are the best KZfaqr, keep doing what you’re doing man!

I'm so mad that you also know how to sew and do what is essentially leatherwork in addition to being a fantastic mechanic.

I swear this man has the knowledge of the entire human race. Chris Fix, you're amazing.

The outcome of just removing the old leather looks good enough for me.

Anyone else wish Chris would post more often?

I don’t even own a car but this guy my makes me happy

That’s pretty darn impressive Chris! I’m usually the one tackling those jobs that 90% won’t or find things get too difficult and time consuming - I tip my hat off to you on this one. Great job.

Man, this is crazy thorough, I never would've thought of cutting a channel in the wheel for the seam to sit flat. Looks really professional. One tip if people have trouble cutting a straight line with scissors is you can use a rotary cutter and a cutting mat, makes it easy and fast to cut straight lines in fabric and stuff like that.

I'm 13 and my dad brought home an old 1988 Chevy silverado for me to fix up. so far it has been great fun. your channel has helped a lot.

You are incredible. I'm a mechanic retired 50 years at the business. There are not many people around that do this quality of work anymore. Usually only in restoration shops. It's sad everything moves so fast and is throw away. The old days when we would fix everything make parts is pretty much gone. Great job. Highest compliments

The factthat chris gets RIGHT to the point in the start of the vid is what makes him so good

Doing the stitching must have took a lot of dedication and patience, I’m amazed

No other car channel would talk about cutting along the bias like that. The attention to detail i keep finding binge watching your videos is amazing. Thanks so much for getting me hella into cars

Your determination to do things properly and figure out an easy process is very impressive.

I make homemade leather wallets, but I was worried on restoring my steering wheel. This gave me confidence thank you!

Wow this was so perfectly clear spaced timed and edited. Just perfect.

Chris literally makes everything look easy and i love him for that! who else?

To remove the airbag just pull the **BAM!!!**

What separates Chris from everyone else is his patience and attention to detail Just amazing

This guy is amazing! Makes me want to fix things😂 I have to say, it looked easier to change a clutch than to re wrap that steering wheel.

I don't even have a car

Now every time you're stuck in traffic, you'll be focused on and picking at the parts you wished you did better. lol.

Darnnn. This guy is a genius multifunctional. Greetings from Costa Rica.

I see that Chris is still replying to comments 6 years later on a video with 11M views, what a real one. ❤

Is it weird that I'm 15 and don't even own a car but I still watch every single video of Chris

Just seeing your hands moving with your voice is kind of magical to the learning process . You are very good and certainly a talented person .. Really like your videos . Thanks a lot.

I don't even planning to do anything to my dad's car cuz nothing major wrong with it but i still watch every video, even video like tutorial how to change the clutch i still watch it cuz i really like your explanation n ofc your camera angle.

Chris is the type of friend that always does things with ease and makes it come out so perfect every time that it makes whatever you tried to do look like shit..

Never planning on doing this but satisfying to watch

Top Tip. If your steering wheel doesn't require a puller and can be done with a bit of brute force, screw the nut/bolt back in a few threads before pulling. This will stop you from punching yourself in the face with your steering wheel.

IMO, this dude is probably the best instructor on YT. Just a fully excellent demo of what I was looking for. Excellent. Thank you, Chris.

This was on my recommendation and I would have to say, it was every minute worth watching. And I don't even own a shitstang nor needing a replacement on my steering wheel 👁👄👁

I'm happy just to learn how to straighten a steering wheel. Nice.

Chris fix by far has the best tips of any car guy Chanel 👍🏻

"Hey guys ChrisStitch here!"

Most people would say sewing is a grandma thing. I’d say ChrisFix is the type of guy who really puts his heart and passion with cars no matter if it’s under the hood or doing interior work In my honest opinion. ChrisFix is a true car guy here. Not only helping car owners how to work on their own cars but he really puts his love of cars out Keep up the good work Chris. Can’t wait to see more videos

Sorry you went through so much trouble just to upload this video. I hope you know we all appreciate the info you provide us with on every video you do. Thank you Chris for all that you do

I just wanna say thank you, honestly as a teen I was scared about anything with Cars, but last week you helped me replace a water pump, a CV axle and strip down my first car! please keep making Vids and helping people.

This is way more complicated than you make it look. That is awesome work. And just the ability in the measuring bravo 👏🏻

I find it funny that all these super successful KZfaqrs are so multi talented. Like this kind of thing goes way past knowing how to mechanically fix a car or even doing bodywork, it's like a work of art to do what he did in the video. Doesn't look easy at all.

You know you're watching ChrisFix when sewing looks manly

Another 15 minutes that felt like 5 :0 i wonder how you do this learned alot again like every other video tho

You do the best car videos ever! Myself and my daughter love watching you on KZfaq ,good luck with your channel 😁

I found this so totally spell binding. Could not stop watching it. WOW amazing

Dude this is just like defusing a bomb.

As someone who studied fashion in college and does a lot of sewing, I am very impressed by your textile knowledge!

Wait a minute are you secretly teaching us to sew?!? Chrisfix you're far too talented. Thanks for the fantastic content!

Don't worry Chris "it looks professional like I took it somewhere and got it done " bro honestly half the crooks out there doing steering wheel repair skip all those steps to hurry and get paid instead of going the extra mile to give it a longer life bro you are 100% the most professional person I've ever seen hope you respond to this hence 4yr old video still a hit cheers 🥂

You know you’re a fan when you don’t own a mustang nor does your steering even come close to being in need of replacement

ChrisFix: Remove the battery connection so the airbag doesn’t have any power. Me: *Laughs in 1974*

This is probably the first Chris fix video I’ve ever watched

I've watched so many Chris Fix videos and I never subscribed...shame on me. This video made me subscribe. Not because I plan on recovering my steering wheel, but because the detail, and instruction is spot on. No glossing over things. And paying attention and instructing those little details makes all the difference to how the job comes out. Chris deserves every subscription. He earns them.

Love your videos man! You should restore an old car, like so he can see

Everyone sleeping on my boy Chris where the BIG ASS SPONSORSHIPS!

You did a great job, I do have two suggestions. Using a pair of needlenose pliers to push/pull the needles through the material will save your fingers and if you take a hammer you can pound that bottom seam flat so you don't need to cut a divot into the bottom of the wheel.

I don't have a leather steering wheel, the video is over four years old, and I still love this content.

thank you for letting me know how to replace a whole transmission while i was high as a bat and freaking out your voice is calming

Anyone else wish Chris had a garage we can go to get our cars fixed?

You've made it to the front page of Google search results! I looked up how to refinish a steering wheel and your video came up

Chris your way looks like it comes out so much better than a wheelskins cover. The wheelskins covers feels so thick over the existing worn out cover

I'll get a steering wheel from the junkyard then recover it. I LOVE this vid, great camera work, lighting and I can understand every word you say. You have SO many good ideas.

Fixing cars AND sewing...get ya a man who can do both!

I don’t understand 50% of the words because I’m a foreigner. But at the same time, everything is clear to me 100%! Very interesting to watch !!! Thanks!

Chris Fix arts and crafts edition was actually quite interesting to watch. Thanks for the quality content man!

9:26 sir that is a binder clip

How to SUPER clean your engine bay video??

I love how Chris knows the anatomy of everything in life lol. Youre amazing Chris!

Dude I appreciate the fact you did this for us. When you cleaned up the wheel 99.999% of people would have just put it back on and skipped the video.

This dude is a perfectionist like me. But my perfectionism is also why I don't attempt stuff like this anymore, because if I'm not 100% certain that I can get it perfect, I'll lose my mind and rip it all off and begin smashing things.

HEY GUYSSS ChrisStitch here!

Dude, you’re awesome! I was wondering how that was done. I didn’t want to get a cover or a new steering wheel. $40 and a few hours it is!

Hi Chris, my name is Christian from Germany and i wanna thank you to upload all these vids, because it helps me in twice. First leran more about tecnical knowing of cars (exspacaly amrerican cars) and second one is level up my english experience. I like the way you explain all the steps you do, because there a so exactly and easy to understand, also people are not able to understand the language understand what you meaning. So an Thank you again for posting all these intersting stuff and im greatful for all the coming up stuff. God Bles. Chris

Another home run video.I just bought a 2009 F-150 with a steering wheel like the one in the video and I was wondering how to make it nice again and then you're vid pops up.Life is good again,thanks Chris.

Awesome video like always! I noticed that when you peeled off the old leather from the steering wheel, it looked like it had been glued all underneath before they stitched it closed. Wouldn't it have also been a good idea to add glue all around in the inside of the new leather just so that later down the road it doesn't become loose?

Im only 13 years old but i love your vids very much its very enjoyable

The one thing that I thought for sure wouldn't have a proper youtube tutorial - and of course it's Chris. Quality work.

Colour code: Hearing Aid Beige

Chris you are seriously the jack of all trades great job and great video

Wow that uncovered steering wheel did look pretty good just by itself! Be really hard not to just leave it that way.

I continue to be blown away by all your car care videos. Now I just need to find me a New Edge Mustang!

*0:01** the seats are begging to be repaired too! ChrisFix, will you come to their rescue? Sounds like another video...*

watching you stick a steering wheel is like watching bob ross painting!

These videos are a decade old and still better than most. Great editing and production.

thats insane bruh.......mad respect.

yeah, there's a zero percent chance I'm doing this

My life is complete again, a new video, new me. I am now an attack helicopter until the next video

I love when you do interior work on your mustang because I'm restoring my moms 1995 mustang and the body/interior is exactly the same

Lol I'm getting a 02 mitsubishi eclipse gs spyder this Friday I always go to your videos to see what I'd get into if I work on my car by myself Good work man

How do you know all this stuff!? Your attention to detail is incredible!

who else watches his vids just for watching and not for real use

I'm addicted to these videos. My 07 Infiniti g35 is in good condition and doesn't need anything but I still love your videos. I'm glad you do what you do in a clear and simple way.

The longer Chris went into the details of cutting and sewing, the better my cheap steering wheel cover started to look. 😁

#ChrisFix dude did you really cut the steering wheel to fix the leather stitching in place? that's sick!

If I walk into a store and find a ChrisFix Soapy Wooder, I think I would buy it!

Dude I never leave a comment but i am impressed. That makes a car look so much cleaner, instead of some nasty sh*t. Great job...
