Hey Guys,

I bought a leather steering wheel cover for wheelskins for my balt but havn't installed it yet. From what I've read so far they're a PITA to install but I most people love them once they get past that. Have any of you installed a "lace on" cover? And I don't wanna hear from you "mine came wrapped with leather from the factory" guys. Thanks!

Jon

 

Thats the one that comes with a needle to thread the entire thing right? I killed my fingers on that and it still came out half assed. I wasn't happy.

 

Yup comes with the needle and thread. What kind of a stitch did you use?

 

I tried following the directions, but it came out so terrible and took me hours, if your not good with stitching and whatnot find someone that is

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Pics?

 

I'm not going to have time to install mine until the middle of next week. I'll post pics when I get them.

 

I would have a wife/mom/girlfriend do it to be honest. Unless you have a ton of patience and are good with that, pass it off. Keep the thread pulled really tight, keep going back a few inches and pull it tighter and tighter.

I attempted to install the wheelskins cover this past weekend. It was a complete and utter failure! It wouldn't sew worth crap with that damn waxy thread. I'm gonna have a hell of a time trying to get my gf to do it. Sorry to disappoint you guys but i guess im not gonna have any pics

 

Instead of starting a new thread, decided to bump this one. Anyone get this thing on there ok? I want one, but if it is THAT hard to do, I might not bother.

 

^Out of curiousity has anyone gotten this to work? As you can see I gave up on it a long time ago.

 

bring it to an upholstry shop, or an upscale furniture store, they will have someone there, or have an on-call guy that does furniture repairs. Trust me, for some cash they would be happy to do it.

 

We sell Wheelskins products...

I've never installed one myself, but I never had any comments about them being hard to put on from previous customers. Most were Cavalier/Sunfire owners... so maybe there's something drastically different between your wheel & theirs that makes it more difficult. I know the Cobalt size is a "custom size", as it's not one of their regular stock sizes.

If anyone happens to need/want one, just let me know.
