don't touch the steering wheel when you drive LOL! jk

i remember when my mom had a 1997 C class we bought new, we tried to buy a steering wheel cover but every single universal one said "DOES NOT FIT MERCEDES BENZ"

Question

Maybe you can give this website a try?
http://www.shopsar.com/Custom-Leathe...FQ-lagodM2zBHA I haven't bought anything from this website; just a suggestion.
Also, some local automotive upholstery shops custom make steering wheel wraps, but could be pricey thought. The leather on the MB steering wheel is very durable, maybe you should try to use leather cleaner and conditioner and see if that helps. I apply cleaner & conditioner to all interior leather surfaces once a month, and they still look like new.

i have black interior, it hasn't gotten bad yet u can see the dullness of the leather when the sun hits it, i want to get a steering wheel cover that is actually comfortable and feels like the regular one b.c. i want to protect it before it gets anyworse

szmb - idk if u have a dif. steering wheel from me, im going to take a picture to show u guys tomm, but its hard for a cover to go on ours b.c. of the four points they arent straight intot he steering wheel they curve into the wheel and that keeps the cover from sitting well its hard to xplain, ill throw on the crappy one i got from autozone to show u guys (plus it makes the wheel HUGE as if im driving a jap tuner lol

Try using a leather cleaner and conditioner and see if it helps. By what you described, it sounds like it could be dry.
