Verify that the cover matches the design and specifications of your specific car model and order.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Installation
-
Positioning & Alignment
Center your steering wheel. Starting from the 12 o'clock position, stretch the cover over the wheel from top to bottom, left to right. Adjust it so the margins on both sides of the seams are fully symmetrical and less than 3mm wide.
-
Apply Double-Sided Tape (Optional but Recommended)
Apply the provided double-sided tape to the inside of the cover to prevent slipping. Leave a small gap between the tape and the edge of the leather. Ensure the tape is flat to avoid wrinkles during sewing.
-
Tuck the Extra Leather
Using the yellow trim tool (small blade), patiently push the excess leather into the gaps of the steering wheel spokes. If the gap is too tight, you can slightly loosen the screws on the back of the steering wheel to create space.
-
Start Hand-Stitching
Thread the needle and tie a knot at the end. We recommend stitching sequentially from the 9 o'clock, down to the 6 o'clock, and over to the 3 o'clock position. Maintain steady, even tension on the thread.
-
Finishing the Knot
Once a section is fully stitched, wind the needle around 5 to 6 times on the inner side to tie a secure knot. Cut the excess thread, and use the trim tool to hide the remaining thread neatly into the gap.
