Default Leather on steering wheel has a slash...

On the bottom side of my steering wheel is a small slash / cut and I can feel it sometimes when I am driving. Anyone know how I can fix this?

what do you mean by peeling? I noticed around the stichings mine has like a ripped kinda look and the top part where I hold it is pitting like crazy.

They said its normal wear and tear. im gonna go back I think.

the leather dried out and I could see little pieces of the smooth black leather peeling back where I would grip the wheel and it was way uncomfortable to hold

nope. it is a small and fine cut and I can just feel it. I guess I need to stop in to a upholstery place and see what they can do for me.
