Installing steering wheel cover

**mikey177** · July 5th, 2006 05:33 PM

Following Otep's suggestion, I bought a steering wheel cover for my van at the DIY Shop to improve the grip of the steering wheel. It's a simple black vinyl circle that is the same size as the steering wheel. Anyway, I tried putting it on the steering wheel but I couldn't get it on all the way.

Is there a technique for getting the blasted contraption on? Or is it just a matter of applying enough brute force without causing the steering wheel cover to tear?

Baka kelangan lang ng konting lubricant para maisuot ng maigi. Yung sa akin madali lang naisuot sa manibela.

If at first you don't succeed... use more force. :D

use brute force. "birhen" pa kasi nabili mo

**mikey177** · July 5th, 2006 06:13 PM

Thanks. I'll try leaving it partially on the steering wheel overnight, then I'll attempt to wrestle with it again tomorrow morning

di naman kaya mali yung size na nabili mo? pwede rin bilad mo sa araw muna yung steering cover para lumambot yung leather/vinyl material para mas stretchable sya pag nilagay mo na. kumbaga warm up mo muna...painitin mo bago mo ipasok!

Gamit ka ng lever ... gaya nung ginagawa kapag nagsusuot ka ng sapatos.

leather ba? babad mo sa water. this will make it more pliable and stretch a little. don't worry about the water it will evaporate. then pag dry na treat mo ng leather dressing (kung wala then shoe leather dressing or even baby oil will do).

if plastic/synthetic yun ang ibilad mo sa araw para lumambot at mag-stretch.

agree kung leather .lalo na kung sa warm water mo ibabad or iyon isang area lang ang babad mo para iyon ang ma hatak mo

force lng, same lng sa naginstall ka ng bagong gulong sa rim mo, kailangan ng pwersa... birhen pa kasi... try mo sa baba magstart pra makuha mo force gripping pataas

Kung sobrang sikip baka maling size ang nakuha mo. Look at the packaging for the size.

Yung sa akin naman, galing sa Ace Hardware at Mall of Asia. Grabe ang baho! Ewan ko ano pinahit nila dyan. Pinahangin ko na nga at dyan padin ang amoy. Strong chemical smell, almosts smells like burnt charcoal.

ang pagkakaalam ko may mga size din ang steering wheel cover...

**OTEP** · July 5th, 2006 11:41 PM

Tama ba ang size?

Masikip talaga yan. Otherwise it will not grip the wheel well (dangerous).

It helps kung dalawa kayo magkakabit. So one can hold down the parts you have installed already while you finish the rest of the job.

Tip lang, find the seam where the vinyl meets. Kadalasan yung edging lang naman ang may seam. Position the seam where you rarely put your hand. Yung sa Sentra inulit ko pa kasi yung seam nasa 3 'o clock position ko na ilagay, tama ng tama sa daliri ko. hehehe.

ang style dyan, isubo mo muna yung top part. tapos force ng bottom part.
tama si otep. talagang masikip yan for it to grip the steering wheel, otherwise, pag maluwag yan you will lose control while steering, specially on bends....

Agreed ako dito kasi pag mabigat manibela mo ay iikot sya.
Sa akin ginawa ko ay parang style O-ring installation ang procedure, paikot sya tapos force fit sa huli pero dapat may tanda kasi yung iba may pangalan sa sentro ng steering cover dahil mahirap ng ikutin pag nainstall na sya.

afaik, yung mga usual na covers pwede yan sa momo wheels. standard din naman ang size ng most of them eh.

kaya lang, bakit mo naman kailangang i cover ang momo? kung medyo kupas na, ipa leather wrap mo na lang...
