How to Install a Leather Cover for the Steering Wheel of a Volkswagen Santana?

Model: Volkswagen Santana Vista - Years 2008-2012
Part: Accessory kit

A leather cover for the steering wheel allows you to protect it while enhancing its aesthetics. The installation requires the use of somewhat unconventional tools for cars, namely a needle and suitable thread! Purchase the cover and position it around the steering wheel. Start from any point and use the needle (thick enough) and thread to sew the leather cover along the two edges to join them. Continue around the entire edge until the cover is completely closed around the steering wheel. It is advisable to use the same stitches shown in the video for both aesthetic reasons and, most importantly, durability over time.
