Did I do this? Steering Wheel Leather
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...9ba80709fa.jpg
My car has about 2000 miles on it. I'm the only one that drives it. Yesterday I noticed this on the steering wheel right at the 10:00 position so you feel it constantly. My question is, did I do this? I have no idea how this could have happened. I don't wear any jewelry. My nails are trimmed short as always. The only thing I can think of is my sun visor dragging across the wheel but even that is plastic and cloth. Is this a defect or is it something I did somehow? Is there any good way to repair it or at least make the leather stay down and be smooth again? |
Looks like something inadvertently scraped the steering wheel to me. With the vehicle being so new, you can always cop a plea with the dealership under warranty. You never know until you ask.

happened to me on my old 2IS, it will smooth out and you won't feel it anymore after a while

Clearly Wolverine tried to jack your Lexus but was unsuccessful. I'd say file a police report.

Same sort of thing on my previous car. When I get in and out of my car my right hip will sometimes touch the wheel. Sometimes I have a pocket knife on me and it scratched up the wheel.... just a thought.

I have also seen keys, coffee cups, purses, cardboard boxes, umbrellas, and even sun shades leave marks on the relatively soft leather of a steering wheel that very much like the marks you have pictured. |
Alright, thanks guys.
Anyone know about how much a replacement wheel is? Hopefully I can learn to live with it, but it's nice to know the replacement cost. |

Same issue on mine... =[, but mine is much smaller. Over time it does smooth out and you don't feel it anymore.

Are you wearing a ring?
|
I scratched my steering wheel and it looked the same, went away with time, cant even tell it even happened
|
Seat belt buckle when steering wheel turned to the left
|
I did this same thing to the bottom of my steering wheel with the seat belt. I took it in to the dealer and they replaced it for free because they said "I was a valued customer".
|
Maybe his Rolex ? or watch?
