Anoyone have any issues with the wood cracking on their steering wheels? The wheel on my '01 is cracking throughout the top section of the wheel, and a few pieces of the wood has even flaked off. I'm wondering if this is a common issue and if anyone has had experience repairing or replacing the wheel. I know my truck is now 12 years old, but I've never had issues with wood trim on other vehicles of similar age.

Yes. My 2000 has a lot of surface cracks on the top of the wheel. Don't know what to do about it except look for a used replacement somewhere. I figure it s from the sun hitting the top of the wheel.

anyone know of a good source for used replacements?

If I had that situation I would cross my fingers and search ebay. You may be able to find exactly what you need. good luck

ebay had one this weekend...ended up selling for $406. Anyone know how much Lexus sells them for?

Lexus sells them for about $3,000, but you can get one online from Sewell with your CL account for $1,680.

That DIY was nice...if only I was so talented and had that much time. I wonder if there are any places near Seattle that can do that kind of work?
