Anyone else steering wheel "leather" dissolving in front of their eyes?

Had a humid morning today, and it was soft enough to get all over my hands, now my hands are all black. :mad:

Just a rant session, carry on

I'm having that issue too. Going to try a leather cover this summer. Don't remember which one I picked out.... I started a thread on it though because I wanted input from others.

No issues with my 2006 steering wheel. Sits in the AZ hot sun all day and is still in original condition.

We got that east coast humidity. Stuff will pull paint off of most anything around here....and give you the sweats.

Same thing is happening to mine. It started happening last year during Camp Commander after driving ridiculous number of hours each day on the way out there. Deinitely moisture related. I moved my hands to a different position on the wheel to let it 'recover'. There is still a worn spot, but at least it's not coming apart anymore right now.

I've had Jeep Speed Grip cover on mine since the day I got it... (actually it was a gift) And a really good one.

Mine is still like new, no problems. I guess it could be a moisture issue. We have about as much humidity here as anywhere yet I dont have any problems. My hands dont sweat too much neither. I hope mine never does it cause I can not stand a steering wheel cover.
