    My 2013 Toyota fielder steering wheel is peeling. It's got some sort of coating over actual rubber. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Thanks.

    I noticed in later years they moved to a non-leather wheel. It's been hard finding a match for this one at the wreckers. Maybe I should peel all of it lol, and put some sort of shoe polish on it

    I have the same 'Softex", fake leather steering wheel on my 2016 Toyota Corolla S plus.

    I put a genuine leather stitched on steering wheel cover over it. I like how thick it is, feels good, and I have that real leather smell now. 20220904_105412.jpeg 20220904_105311.jpeg
