Wrinkly steering wheel!!!

[Joanne91]

It's bad enough waking up in the morning and seeing wrinkles appear without my Fiat 500 doing the same

Specifically, the wrinkles have appeared on my cream leather steering wheel.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same - and if they know what causes this to happen?

It doesn't seem to be on the part of the steering wheel I predominantly use for driving.

Could it be sun damage? Is there a cure or a preventative step I can take?

(Don't say use Factor 15!!!)

I have a similar thing in my punto HGT with "leather" steering note the inverted commas I am not 100% convinced it's real leather, on mine it is on the right hand outer edge near the drivers door/heater vent which is where my number 1 theory for what is to blame lies

Common problem with Fiat using that fake PLeather (pretend leather) vinyl type stuff. I had it on my grande, just peeled it all off as it was annoying me, wheel looked rubbish so brought a real leather one off ebay for £30

No cure i'm afraid, other than a steering wheel cover (what my dad used on his 500 when it happened to him.)
