1 Answers
The repair methods for a leather steering wheel vary depending on the extent of wear. Below are the repair methods for a worn leather steering wheel: 1. Minor wear: Purchase a specialized leather steering wheel repair solution and apply it to the worn area according to the instructions. 2. Small cracks: If small cracks appear, apply acrylic resin to the cracks, align the edges, and dry them with the cool air setting of a hairdryer. 3. Tears: If there is a tear, cut a piece of lining slightly larger than the damaged area and place it underneath the tear. Then apply leather adhesive. Place a layer of cotton cloth over the damaged area and press it flat with an iron. Once the leather sets, remove the cotton cloth. If the crack is noticeable, apply a color paste matching the original color. 4. Unable to repair yourself: If the damage is beyond your ability to repair, take the steering wheel to a professional automotive detailing shop for refurbishment. Refurbishment techniques can maximize the repair of the worn area.
