Picking mine up this weekend. How do you keep the steering wheel from chafing "the wood" when you drive?

I need to get this sorted soon.

LOL....Lower the seat???

Steve Dallas · 07-07-2010, 01:02 PM

Adjust the Steering wheel?

Those stains are bad for the leather...I'd fix it pronto!

x626xBlack · 07-07-2010, 01:07 PM

I see I have found a good crowd here on C5!

I am new here. And shall own my second Camaro this weekend.

hehe you coul dpossibly get rid of your "problem" by visualizing driving a stang...that would surely make it go away...unless of course you swing both ways

The Reaper · 07-07-2010, 01:12 PM

It's not the chafing so much as trying to keep it from getting caught in the spokes while turning.

x626xBlack · 07-07-2010, 01:15 PM

"thinking Mustang".... Nope.. I do have my limits.
May have to lube the bottom of the steering wheel.

Going to have to find a full serve gas Station also.... This Sucks!

This is obviously a guy problem

I'd be careful getting a lube job from strangers!

It might void your warranty

Securely fastened in the lapbelt, shouldn't be a problem.... if it is, use the shoulder strap too!!!!!

I had to take a double look at the OP - first person who came to my mind on this question was SSOOCH - with all due respect as his reputation preceeds him...
