Steering Wheel Melting Issue? Is there a solution?

[Pl8yer]

I noticed the old thread is long and dead. Being new to the forum was there any outcome? Is there a reletively cheap solution to this problem?

There's a few members that offer a retrimming service. You won't find many Clios with unmelted original steering wheels. I think they are made of cheese



Edit.

I've been nice and got the links.

Made of cheese! The right thumb grip has completely peeled although spending over £100 on a new one not sure its worth it. May try that re trimming service! Thank you!

Get a new one in a proper size not the truck spec standard one.

Really?!

I'm so glad the previous owner to mine was so anal about details, he put a brand new steering wheel on it about a month before I brought it, little unsure on the logic!

This: Leather Prep. You need to remove the wheel, use an abrasive pad and the prep to remove the melted leather coat from the wheel. Then sand the wheel lightly and dye the leather a dark grey. It is a pig of a job, but I now have a perfect steering wheel that has the same leather texture but a matt grey colour. Better to the touch than the wheel was when new.

Doesn't help with the thumb grips (in fact you need to mask them off very well as the prep and abrasive will destroy them), but I am going to try Plastidip on them next.
