Are Steering Wheel Covers Safe?
1 Answers
Steering wheel covers are not safe. The specific safety concerns are as follows: Unsafe for the vehicle: Steering wheel covers that rely on internal rubber for fixation can damage the genuine leather steering wheel. Due to the rubber fixation, the cover cannot move extensively on the wheel but may have very slight displacement, causing irreversible damage to the genuine leather steering wheel and affecting its original aesthetics. Unsafe for the driver: After prolonged use, the friction of the steering wheel cover decreases, leading to displacement. In emergency situations, this can hinder the driver's ability to make quick and precise reactions. Additionally, factors such as rubber aging, extremely low temperatures, or substandard quality of the steering wheel cover cannot be predicted.
