What to do if the steering wheel cover doesnt fit?
If the steering wheel cover you purchased doesn't fit your vehicle's steering wheel, don't worry - there are a few steps you can take to ensure a proper fit. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of troubleshooting and resolving the issue.
Measure the Steering Wheel
The first step is to accurately measure the diameter of your steering wheel. This will help you determine the correct size of the steering wheel cover you need. Use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the steering wheel from one side to the other, and make a note of the measurement.
Check the Cover Specifications
Next, review the specifications of the steering wheel cover you purchased. Manufacturers typically provide the recommended steering wheel size range for each cover. Compare the measurements you took to the specifications to ensure you have the right size.
Consider Stretching the Cover
If the cover is slightly too small, you may be able to stretch it to fit. Carefully stretch the cover over the steering wheel, being gentle to avoid tearing the material. You can also try using a hairdryer to warm the cover, which can make it more pliable and easier to stretch.
Explore Alternative Covers
- If the cover still doesn't fit, consider looking for a different style or brand that may better suit your steering wheel size.
- Some covers are designed to be adjustable, with elastic or straps that can be tightened or loosened to achieve the perfect fit.
- You can also explore custom-made covers, which are tailored to the specific dimensions of your steering wheel.
By following these steps, you should be able to find a steering wheel cover that fits your vehicle's steering wheel snugly and securely.
