Leather wrapped steering wheel

Well, the Texas sun has done my steering wheel cover in. Frayed & worn out. Has anyone found a good quality leather steering wheel wrap?

Thanks,
Larry

The Navigator fits right in. This is what I was told when looking for mine to be repaired. Ended up having it reworked.

yup, i just installed a brand new wood/leather wheel for a 02 navigator. its got the radio/ac controls in it. all the wiring is different compared to my 01 X. i dont have the auto climate control so the radio/ac controls are dummies. the cruise control wiring is also different so for right now thats not hooked up either. i am trying to find a wiring diagram for the navigator so i can soldier the right wires together. but for $49.25 for the brand new wheel in factory shrink wrap, i couln't resist.

I have been selling wheelskins for a few years and have had one on my superduty for a year and half now. I love it, it's easy to clean and when it gets bad I just put put a new one on. The Sand color is very close to factory tan.
