Leather Steering Wheel Cover - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi everyone

I'm looking for a leather steering wheel cover for my 2007 Camry LE - the plastic steering wheel isn't the nicest to hold onto on a hot day.

I know that there are a bunch of generic covers available - has anyone found a high quality one made specifically for the Camry?

Thanks

Leather will be cooler? LOL

Nicer feel than plastic!

^ idk if you have leather seat or not but that thing is BURNING HOT when it has been in the sun. Cloth is the only one that alleviate the heat and I couldn't find one that is nice enough.

Here is my leather wrapped steering wheel. not those slip on type

It adds some thickness to my steering wheel. And even though its leather, it does not get burning hot under the sun. Its still hot but not to the point where you cant touch it.

I have a very nice cover on mine, it's heat proof and good looking too.

First thing I do is roll down the window to release all the hot air. The AC take over after.

Second, drive with 2 fingers each hand slowly to avoid getting burn. If you want, cloth and some water. A quick water wipe will instantly lower the temperature on the steering wheel. The water will become instant steam and remove the heat right away.

I'm still on the search for a decent looking cloth steering wheel cover. The sunshade is a bit annoying to remove every time. I wish they make the roll one like my back window.

still love the look of my oem.

wht the hell is bake window?!

My only concern when using sunshade is that I have to lower my visors down to hold it in place and those visors feels wobbly after a while due to the heat + cheapass quality. I'm afraid it's gonna snap on me.

Back window. sorry, thinking other things while typing (lunch). I have the roll up shade in my back window.

My shade is a bit big so when put up I can slip it into the edge of the visor without pulling out the visor. It's just enough force to keep the shade there.

I have a slip on cover that you find at Pep Boys, Advance, Auto Zone.

They even make them in a cloth like fabric, like the Type I have on my GMC's leather Steering wheel.

I also have one on the Coupe, and the Son has a Black on on his CR-V

That's what I have too. And if you're lucky u can get a nice one for less than $10. I got mine for $8 and it's the best cover I've ever had, it even has nice cushioning and anti-slip, it's good for canyon driving.
