But let’s get back to the topic of steering wheel upholstery. How much depreciated a steering wheel must be in order to need reupholstery?

 

Once the surface layer of the steering wheel is damaged, layer by layer erasure occurs until the base of the leather is reached. If you don’t take appropriate measures there will be deeper damaging and perforation of the base, respectively tearing of the leather steering wheel.
It is important to note that minor defects such as 2 to 3 cm are completely repairable and do not require reupholstery of the steering wheel.
