Steering Wheel Dents
Anyone know how to (or whether possible at all) to get these dents out? Sorry for the one photo, I think it is enough for this purpose.
I've got a pretty good deal on the package, but don't want to buy it if the dents are permanent. Thanks Last edited by yakev724; 05-27-2011 at 12:29 AM.. |

What is the history on that wheel? I don't see how those "dents" could be caused other than making contact with some solid objects in a crash....I doubt that could be rectified without removing the leather wrap and filling the divots and rewrapping....and I have no idea how that is done..

Some guys at the vendor area replace the leather on the steering wheel. Don't know how expensive but if you are getting the wheel for a cheap price you can get it rewrap in a cool convination.

Yea probs going to pass on the rewrap idea as a) I like to keep it oem b) it'll be more than I'm willing to spend.
Some have said heat and pressure can bring back the original shape? Thanks though |

Those dents and the squish were probably caused by improper storage where two very sharp objects were under the steering wheel that was face down with some heavy object on top for quite a bit of time.
Those dents are probably permanent. |
