Not really. Leather is cracking and feathering like a MUTHAFUCKA. Worse than my OEM wheel.

I dont think it can be repaired. Ima see what I can do with the other one. Might have to do ANOTHER steering wheel swap, lol.

Really? I haven't had a problem with mine yet. Although I put leather conditioner on it every once and a while. That kinda stinks. Post pictures of what it looks like. I would like to compare...

IDK how to explain it. It's not coming OFF the wheel, it's just peeling or feathering. I need to start conditioning the other wheel for awhile and then put it on. See how it does. I might look into a wheel cover of some sort as well.

PLEEZ do not use a wheel cover.

Start using some leather conditioner, and then see how it goes.

Well, I think this wheel may be too far gone for conditioner. I mean, it wont hurt, but it wont reverse the damage thats already been done. But i can condition the other wheel though.

As for a cover, why not?? Im talking about while it's parked. I was thinking something furry. Kinda like this...

PIMP. lol

I’m confused, I thought your MDX wheel was new? In any case, I don't have this problem on my CL-S wheel.

Derek, you know you'd rock that ish.

Chris, it is/was brand new. Supposedly. I mean, it wasnt used. It was BNIB. I maybe just the heat or sun go to it. IDK.

Either way, like I said; I'll start conditioning the other one, swp them and use a cover.
