I don't think you will be able to fix it. The leather will have to be replaced or covered up. It comes down to how much you want to spend on it.

^^^ I was gonna say the same thing, replace or cover. Mines is fading and cracking and the chrome Lexus Emblem in the center is also fading, its getting annoying everytime I see it. I've never had a cover so if I don't like how it feels, I'll replace.

I know www.leatherseats.com also make a steering wheel wrap made from real leather specifically for our cars. Comes with the thread/string to wrap it up too.

Is this an ESL class?

All kidding aside, I'd like to see pics of that cheap cover stitched on - I think I'll buy one!
