MG4 SE Steering Wheel Cover

[JPan]

Am I the only one that feels the steering wheel in the entry level MG4 doesn't feel very nice to hold?

I come from a Toyota Aygo X, which comes with leather steering wheel as standard and I definitely miss it... I wonder if anyone has found a cover that fits the wheel nicely?

I've found some options at amazon.nl and I'm afraid they'll either look terrible or be quite hard to fit (I'm not very good at threading xD)

Any suggestions are welcome!

Cheers!

I'm same as you, the steering wheel feels like the leather is wafer thin with zero comfort.

I find the steering wheel to be perfectly fine in mine. ?‍

I have a Standard spec MG4, with the non-leather steering wheel. I hated the feel of it. I bought this cover from AliExpress:

Looks like this when fitted (took me 3 to 4 hours)

That looks great! Looks just like OE. ??

Try heating the cover with a hair dryer to help it match the contours of the wheel better also the material will be more pliable if you fit it on a warm day.

This was my second attempt (also my 2nd cover :')). It's a pretty decent fit, I would say 95% perfect. The area where you hold your thumbs (below the 2 joysticks) is not as tight around the steering wheel as you would expect from a OEM leather steering wheel.
Would have probably been better if I used a hairdryer or something, but for now it's ok

I've got that one (different colour thread) but haven't installed it yet. Did you use the double sided tape? Any tips on pushing the excess under the plastics?

I did not use that much double sided tape, but if I would do it again, I would definitely use tape in the marked areas. The cover is a bit loose (you can feel there is some air trapped between the cover and steering wheel). Also I would suggest to start sewing at the position of the arrows, this is the most difficult part.

Thanks! Might try this weekend

Still looks good, though. ??

I got the same thing but have not had the time to sew it yet. Do you think it would be a good idea to give it to a sewing professional? Not sure if I should attempt it, I have limited experience in this.

Anyway, how is the feel of it? Is it an improvement from the standard?

The SR steering wheel feels kinda plastic and cheap for me (and slippery), this is way better.
I've had zero sewing experience, and it came out pretty OK. Probably the problem with a sewing professional is that they won't give any guarantee that it will fit perfectly, because they don't know the product. But than again, you can always ask for a price..
