Steering Wheel Cracking on 6th Gen Monte..
Hey Guys,
Recently I've noticed that the top half of my steering wheel has started to crack. Is there any way to fix this without getting a steering wheel cover and/or replacing the steering wheel? Also, bits of it come off on my hands if it is very humid outside. I have some close-up pics below. Any advice is welcome.

x2 the WheelSkin idea. The "foam" wheel is crap (my Grand Am started doing a similar thing, Wheelskin-ed it and never looked back).
I think you can get a Wheelskin around $45, far cheaper then a new wheel. And they are REAL leather!

Everytime I see this pic I want one even more!
I agree with everyone, get a wheelskin!!!! :p

I know how to treat it before it gets to that point, but I don't know how to fix it. To prevent that from happening is to use a vinyl treatment with UV protection in it.

I was lucky enough to NOT need a wheel skin in my Monte, but in my non-leather wheel Grand Am, it was worth it. Cheap to get, easy to put on, custom look, easy clean up, fresh feel.... Need I go on?
