I don't know of any fixes once it gets deteriorated to that point other than pay to have it professionally re-covered or do as Elvis suggested."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776

not sure what brand/model we're talking about, but once steering wheels start getting funky, I just replace them
my 08 super duty wheel was kinda scuzzy and stained on top where the previous owner rested their hand. bought a new one from TASCA parts and it felt like a whole new truck

Air bag is plug and play. Not sure how it's attached on your particular truck, but it can be tricky if you've never done it on mine. My buddy showed me and now I could do one in 10 minutes. I didn't even use a puller to get the wheel off. Getting the airbag back on was kinda tricky. It had to go back on perfectly straight or you'd have to remove it and try again. Really not too bad, and I think the wheel cost me like $300 from TASCA. Friggin' junkyards wanted $200 for wheels that were in worse shape than mine!

Thanks guys. Its on an 08 Chrysler Aspen(durango). Ill probably just go the replacement route. Dealer wanted something like $500 bucks but just found that online shops have it for 300 ish so thats more bearable.....or ill get the NOS cover
Anyone have experience with an upholstery/car custom interior shop re-wrapping it?
