Squeaky steering wheel

OK guys. I now hear I am not the only one with a squeaky steering wheel. This is driving me insane. It’s to the point I am thinking of selling it. But I truly love this dam car. Right now I have to drive with the sound system volume up. I miss just cruising with the top down and enjoying the ride. HELP...I did remove the steering wheel, tried wd40 etc. and I am out of Ideas.

i have the same problem...
so my solution is/ going to be
to have one of the custom wood shop companies turn my leather steering wheel into a leather and wood steering wheel...
Kind of like this...

???

I really do appreciate the response, but I don't see how that will fix the problem. There is a gap between the the steering wheel and the column.
The leather has no contact with the column. PLEASE Let me know if the fix works for you. Thanks again
