00:00Hey team, I am fixing my steering wheel.
00:08Watch out.
00:09Check it.
00:10Oh, there's my leg still, look at that.
00:14See?
00:15I just got this off of Aliexpress for like 20 bucks, shipped.
00:20I'm going to stitch it on myself.
00:22It's going to take about a thousand hours, I think.
00:25Fits really well.
00:26It's well cut.
00:27I'm going to put this underneath there, because my steering wheel is getting sticky and gross
00:31in the Alcantara.
00:33So I wasn't planning on making a video, but I thought why not vlog about it a little bit.
00:36I'm wearing my old BMW's never die, they just get faster t-shirt.
00:41You can buy them on my Facebook page for $20.
00:43I'm kidding, I don't sell these.
00:44Actually, if you're the guy that makes these, then, or designed it, then let me know.
00:48We can sell them on my page.
00:49You know what I'm talking about?
00:50Anyway, I'm going to stitch this on and I will see you next week or something, and see
00:56how it looks.
00:59Okay, so many hours later, we are here.
01:04Alright, it's looking pretty good so far.
01:08Still doing this area right here.
01:10It's pretty simple, you just add like a loop stitch and then you just go back and forth
01:14hooking through these guys here.
01:17You can see my lovely stitch job.
01:18Oh, my leg keeps getting in the way.
01:21Yep, it's looking good.
01:23It feels good, it feels really fat.
01:25I picked a perforated leather and a smooth leather on top.
01:29I thought it was cool, stayed away from Alcantara this time.
01:34Cool.
01:37And just like that, we are done.
01:41Looks okay, right?
01:42It looks good.
01:43It's fairly decent quality, right?
01:45It's fake leather, obviously.
01:47There's like $25 on eBay, you can't really argue that much.
01:52This fitment right here isn't perfect.
01:54That's the issue that I have with it.
01:56It tucks under this area, I could probably stuff that in a little bit better if I wanted.
02:01But this part looks decent.
02:03My steering wheel is in bad shape.
02:07I didn't do the best job the first time doing it, but overall, I would recommend this if
02:11you want to take it.
02:12It took me, start to finish, two and a half, three hours and I stopped to make some hamburgers
02:18halfway through, so that's not that bad.
02:20And this completely fixed the crappy steering wheel, that's what it looks like from the
02:25side.
02:28Not bad, overall.
02:29I'm satisfied with it.
02:30There you go, not a real video, not a usual review with TH, but thought I'd share this
02:37guy with you guys.
02:38All right, I will talk to you soon.
