Hi Everyone. I just bought my first Toyota Prius. 2024 Prime XSE. I got a leather steering wheel cover that I’d slightly too big. Does anyone have a suggestion on altering to make fit or a suggestion on the best one to get for perfect fit? Thanks
I'm waiting on mine. Just recently I tried putting on a sew-up leather cover on a Crosstrek. Couldn't make it work, I felt, with all the smart features of the the steering wheel. I had a 2000 VW beetle that I put a sew up one on and it was great. For the Crosstrek, wound up getting a slip on 'leather' cover, ie, no sewing. She likes it. You have to get the right size. Maybe you can exchange it? They're not that expensive.
+1 to getting the right size, this cover from Amazon was thin enough at the edges to tuck under the plastic bits of our 2025 Toyota Crown Signia steering wheel. FYI, the cover comes with thread to sew the cover on, but I don't use it because it is made of a slick synthetic material. I get a waxed thread that is thicker and easier to use. https://a.co/d/5F5MH1U The Signia has a factory real leather steering wheel already, but we prefer a nice, thick steering wheel. https://a.co/d/bSMWZ1J
That was a marvelous steering wheel job you did. Was that a custom-made steering wheel cover because I see that there were bulging areas at 2 & 10 o'clock position and then the cover conforms to the bottom spoke?
Nope, off-the-shelf cover, linked in previous post. The bulged areas at 10 and 2 aren't completely covered, there's a slight gap between the edges. As far as the bottom of the wheel, the cover is tucked under the plastic trim with a spatula type trim tool. The cover is tied off directly adjacent to the bottom spoke, then the lacing continues on around the steering wheel.
