Not Liking 1LE Steering Wheel/Shift Material

Nice to know, I'll consider this if I decide to trade. Personally I think Ford puts more quality into their products than GM.

My buddy has a 2002 cobra and it's a rattle bucket. Hope the Camaro doesn't do this.

Is that anyhow related to a visit to Taco Bell in the recent past?

Sorry, I couldn't resist

No, but the fact that I weigh in at 265 may have somethin' to do with it.

I just don't see it lasting as long as leather or even synthetic material.

I can see it tearing and worse, I can see hand oil/dirt building up

In addition, it will get matted down and get slippery.

I'm already wondering what I'm going to replace it with.

I'm surprised no one else has commented or noticed this.

Be happy to swap my 2012 2SS Steering wheel for your 1LE if you are interested.

mine does the same and my weight is about the same, try moving it up a tick from the full rear position, mine stopped squeaking when I did that.

Mine did the same thing. A quick shot of WD-40 to the seat rails cleared it right up. Give it a try mayhap?
