PU Leather Steering Wheel Cover
Leave your car in the Sandton City parking lot on a 38-degree December afternoon. Come back and try to hold your steering wheel. South African sun does not just make the wheel hot — over time, it cracks the leather, peels the coating, and leaves you gripping something that looks and feels like it belongs in a write-off.
The GearBolt Steering Wheel Cover fits any standard wheel in minutes, restores your grip, protects the original material, and keeps your hands comfortable on South Africa's longest drives.
Better Grip, Better Drive
- Heat-Resistant Material — Does not absorb heat the way bare leather and plastic do — cooler to the touch when you return to a parked car
- Non-Slip Grip Surface — Textured finish gives you more control, especially on long highway drives or in wet conditions
- Universal Fit — Fits steering wheels between 37cm and 38cm (standard size for most SA cars, SUVs, and bakkies)
- Protects Original Wheel Surface — Acts as a barrier against UV damage, sweat, and daily wear that degrades factory leather and plastic
- Easy Installation — Stretches over the wheel and stays in position without tools or adhesive
- Odourless Material — No chemical smell, no off-gassing in a hot car
How SA Sun Destroys Your Interior (and How to Stop It)
South African UV intensity is among the highest in the world. Johannesburg's altitude and clear skies amplify solar radiation year-round, and most SA drivers park in the sun by necessity — at work, at the shops, at school. Over two or three summers, that exposure cracks factory leather, fades stitching, and leaves steering wheels slippery and unpleasant to hold. A steering wheel cover costs a fraction of what a factory wheel refurb costs — and it starts protecting from day one. If your wheel is already looking worn, it covers and hides the damage while preventing any further deterioration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my car?
It fits steering wheels with an outer diameter of 37 to 38cm — the standard size for the overwhelming majority of passenger cars, SUVs, and bakkies sold in South Africa. Check your steering wheel diameter if you are unsure.
Does it slip while driving?
No. The inner surface grips the factory wheel material. Once installed correctly, it stays in position through normal driving.
Will it damage my original steering wheel?
No. It sits over the wheel without adhesive or clamping force that would mark the surface. You can remove it at any time.
How do I clean it?
Wipe down with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove it from the wheel and hand wash with mild soap.
