The steering wheel is "steering" of the car, on which the direction of the vehicle movement depends. In the process of movement, the car's hand is located on the ramp, and the comfort of driving depends on the quality of the coating. But even this is the most important thing. In dangerous situations, the driver must respond quickly and, if necessary, rotate sharply with a steering wheel. And here the main role is played by the quality of the coating and the lack of slip hands. That is why many motorists are solved on the creation and installation of braid on the steering wheel. The only question is how to make this work correctly, and which material may be required in the first place.

Choice complexity

• type of fastening braids;
• ease of further care;
• durability of use;
• the quality of the material.

The last factor is considered the most important, therefore it will be discharged in more detail. Several options:

1. Leather braid. Experienced motorists recommend using natural skin, which has two main advantages - practicality, durability and ease of processing. The material can be two types - perforated or without perforation. Braid with holes looks more preferable, because it provides bulk and best contact with the surface. In addition, the perforated surface removes potential irregularities and eliminates problems in the processing process. In addition, the skin is more convenient for care and hygienic than other types of similar products. This is especially true if the machine works "under a taxi" or it has several drivers. All that is required is to process the surface with an antiseptic, and the problem is eliminated. In this case, the leather coating is not afraid of damage. At first glance, the skin seems to be an expensive product, the costs of which are unjustified. But it is not. This is the case when, with long-term use, the costs will take up a hundredfold.

2. Fur braid.The following option, which is popular with representatives of the beautiful floor - fur braid. But the advantage of such a material is only in the visual sector. Joy from tuning leaves for several days. With active ride, fur is frozen in the places of active use. The pile is quickly smeared, loses its kind and shape. This is especially true if the product is made in bright color. Between the pile is clogged with a large amount of dirt, cleaned which is not possible. In such a situation, thinking about hygiene is meaningless. Hands with long driving sweat, the braid absorbs moisture, the skin begins to slide. In general, such tuning is purely "cosmetic" and temporary effect.

3. Wire braided. There was a period when car enthusiasts made a braid made of wire. In this case, the object for tuning was the usual model of VAZ. The practicality of the option is that the plastic winding is durable and withstands even active operation. If you compare the "braid" in appearance with genuine leather or leather, it is significantly inferior. In addition, it is worth considering a low degree of hygienicity. The only thing that helps return the steering wheel tidy is special chemical compositions. Most problems occur when the cold occurs. In this case, the braid begins to bother, which delivers additional discomfort when driving.

4. Braid independent manufacture.If you wish, you can make a braid and your own hands. All that is required for this is a little fantasy, following the algorithm and the source material. In this case, the final version will be 100% compliance with the driver's requests. Mass options:

• Make special inserts for massage hands, which will improve blood circulation in the fingers and palms;

• Conduct heating that guarantees pleasant sensations even in cold weather. At the same time, the inclusion button can be installed on the dashboard.

When choosing a braid worth paying attention to another number of criteria:

• Color and thickness of the product. Newbies try to choose colors as brighter as possible, which will rush into the eyes. Should not be doing that. As practice shows, the brightness is rapidly annoying. Over time, it will have to drag the steering wheel again. The material must be medium thickness, which eliminates the fatigue of the hands. If the driver is rarely behind the wheel, then such a factor does not matter. If a person drives often, then from the "thick" hand of the hand will be tired.

• The presence of bulk inserts. Often you can see how car enthusiasts install foam rubber under the braid. It is believed that it provides additional softness steering wheel. The first time "Baranka" really becomes softer, but the thickness increases. If the steering wheel was thin, for example, like on old VAZ cars, then it is only a plus, but for modern products in such an add-on there is no need. Over time, thickening will lose look, and the foam fluid itself will stick with the subsequent scrolling. If you want to make the steering wheel thicker, you can use special gaskets having a gel filler. The advantage of the material is that it is not flattened due to the presence of an incompressible substance. All that is required from the motorist is to protect the steering wheel from the cuts and punctures.

Many motorists have the greatest complexity of independent exchange and tailoring of the braid products. In fact, everything is simple - here it is not even necessary to remove the steering wheel. Measurements can be made using a tailoring meter on the outer part of the rim. In addition, it is worth measuring the diameter of the winding part to find out the outer strip width for the upholstery.

In the course of the measurement, we see the addition of 3-5 mm, which will be on the seam. On average, the outer diameter for braid has a size of 36-41 centimeters. At the same time, the sports car steering wheel will be less, but at the representatives of the representative class, on the contrary, more.

How to sew a braid yourself?

If you wish to sew a high-quality braid and your own hands. All that is required for this is to choose a minimum set of tool, material and allocate some time. Prepare:

• Leather strip of 12 * 1 cm size, as well as additional flaps (smaller size is allowed).

• Durable cord from Cappon on average three meters. If desired, it can be replaced with a rope of leather.

• Kapron cord (must be transparent). The length of such a cord should be three meters (it is possible to replace the twine from high-quality skin).

• Punch for perforation under the cord.

• A few thimbles for sewing that will protect your fingers from injuries.

• A pair of needle length from 5 cm and more. It is desirable that the head is as smaller as possible (this will allow you to tighten the piping thread).

• Drawing sheet A1 format (required to create patterns).

• Motok Scotchi (as an alternative, you can use food film).

• Cleaning without spokes. There is enough skin strips, the length of which is calculated by the "school" formula. The length of the diameter is multiplied by the number "PI". In addition, using a tailoring meter you can carry out measurements of the outside of the circle. It is important here until the last tape tightening tighten the skin so that it stretches on the steering wheel.

The special ring is allowed to do from a whole piece of material or using a combination of smooth and perforated components. If desired, the use of inserts of different color, which would fit into the overall interior.

All braids that remain for its stitching should be missed with glue. This manipulation makes the material more durable and "hide" threads that can be visible at the joints of the product. To remove the stupid of the material, it is worth using the hammer and knock on the seals.

An important point is the preparation of holes for lacing. Here it will take a metal tube of a small diameter with sharpened on the end of the edge. All that is required is to deliver the product on one side to the skin, and on the other - knock the hammer. Excess skin will enter the breakdown hole.

After holding the markup along the "stitched" part, the parties are allowed to make perforations under thread or the twine. Thickness of the thread (twine) should be 3-4 mm, otherwise the strong tension can lead to a rupture of the product. When stretching the lacing it is worth finding high-quality awl and prepare for long work.

• The upholstery of the steering wheel along with the knitting needles. If desired, shelter the steering wheel not only around the perimeter, but also to capture the needles, you need to prepare for more serious work. To create the pattern, the food film will need, with the help of which is wrapped with all the places of the new upholstery. After fix the foundation using painting tape. Next, outline the places where the seam will be, using the marker and put the numbering the obtained part. On a separate sheet, share the location scheme of the necessary items.

It remains to sew a braid around the perimeter using the typewriter. When performing work, make sure that there is a slight tension all the time. After that, secure the braid on the steering wheel and fasten the thread. Before this, dismantle the plastic decor and airbag cartridge. After the lacing, return everything to the previous place. If necessary, the area between the steering wheel and the skin can be sick with glue, and then dry the edges with a hairdryer.

The steering wheel braid is a useful accessory that is not only an element of the car's interior design, but also performs other functions. The cover for the steering wheel prevents the sliding of the hands, in the process of scrolling the "Baranki", which is especially important in hot weather. In addition, if you are the owner of large brushes, then the braid will significantly increase the size of the steering wheel, which will allow you to control the car more confidently.

In order to determine which braid on the steering wheel is better, first of all it is worth saying that you can choose leather products, let's understand why.

Benefits of leather handlers for the helm

Today the market presents covers made from various materials:

• Porolon. Sponge covers are very soft and well fix the hand on the steering wheel, "commemorating" her shape. However, this is the main minus of the product. The foam rubber is quickly destroyed and abruptly, so such covers have to change quite often.
• Models with massage pads. The "thighs" on the steering wheel allow you to relax the palms during long-term driving, but such massagers can eventually begin to bring inconvenience, so the models of this type are difficult to pick up "on the eye".
• Volumetric braids on a gel basis are quite comfortable, but become rigid during the cold season.
• The braid on the steering wheel from Alcantara with lacing looks beautiful, and the first months of driving you will feel a pleasant velvet material at your hands. However, like any suede, such a fabric is rapid quickly, and threads appear on it.

Also on sale there are "female" covers for the steering wheel, which are made from plush, fur and other materials.

Despite such a variety, most experienced drivers argue that the braid of the steering wheel from genuine leather or a good skin substitute, despite its value, is the best solution. Such products have a mass gain:

• High reliability (leather covers on the steering wheel serve longer, do not deform and do not rub).
• Unpretentious in care (in contrast to the foam rubber, the skin will not absorb moisture and fat, any contamination can be easily removed with a rag moistened in soapy water).
• Elasticity.
• Resistant to mechanical damage.

In addition, if you choose a stylish case on the car's wheel, the skin will always look expensive and suitable for any brand of the car. Of course, such a natural material is more expensive, but if we consider that you do not have to change the case for many years, the purchase will quickly pay off.

Important! If you decide to make a drawing, independently making a cover, it is very important to consider which skin is used for having a steering wheel. For such a "trim", the materials for finishing furniture or clothing will be suitable. You need to choose only 100% skin.

If we talk about how to choose a braid on the steering wheel in size, then everything is like clothes.

Rulet braid sizes

If you choose a cover for your car, you can simply measure the diameter of the steering wheel. But if this is a gift, it will be useful to learn the standard "measurements":

• S (35-37 cm). The smallest size is suitable for such smallness, like Tavria or Oka and cars with a sports steering. Also, the covers of this diameter are installed on Kia Picanto (the diameter of the steering wheel of this machine is exactly 37 cm, so the cover is struggling with difficulty, but will not hang out).
• M (37-38 cm). The average size is the most common, therefore the Caps of the "Medium" category are suitable for almost all foreign cars. Best of all such accessories are "sit down" to the entire range of Kia, Nissan, Ford, Toyota, Chevrolet, Vaz and many other models.
• L (39-40 cm). Such braids are less common, usually they are suitable for VAZ 2101, 2107, 21011, 21013, Niva, Volga and Muscovite.
• XL (42-43 cm). Extra large steering wheels stand on UAZ and Gazelles.
• XXL (47 cm) for trucks imported.
• XXXL (49 cm) on KAMAZ.

Knowing how to choose a braid on the steering wheel in size, it remains to decide on the manufacturer.

Steering wheel braid manufacturers

There is a large selection of accessories for the steering wheel from a variety of manufacturers, consider the most popular of them:

• AutoProfi. The domestic manufacturer produces braids from different materials, with the exception of genuine leather (except Luxury models with leather inserts). The company offers drivers alternative in the form of eco-tree (more modern analog "Kozamam") cost from 450 rubles. Among the disadvantages of such products, motorists noted a rather sharp smell emanating from braid. Also, the "covering" is not always perfectly smoothly adjacent to the steering wheel, which is why it looks like "collective farm."
• AutoLuxe. The company also offers a fairly wide range of products from various materials, at a fairly low cost (from 450 rubles per braid from gray eco-skin size M). However, among the reviews, negative comments are often found quite often that covers are rapidly wearing and fade.
• Sparco. Any car owner knows that this manufacturer is actually a symbol of the "auto-world" and, of course, such a loud name means quality and durability. Braids from SPARCO really have high wear resistance and are designed to meet all the features of the position of the hands on the steering wheel. There are such products from 750 rubles, but they will have to be content with, even high-quality, but still not natural skin.
• Alligator. The company specializes in the manufacture of high-quality accessories from the highest class leather. Due to this, the products not only look spectacular, but also distinguished by increased wear resistance and durability. The manufacturer thought out all the details, so in a set with a braid there is a durable carsional thread for stitching. There is such a set of 2990 rubles.

Of all the listed manufacturers, the leather braid steering wheel with lacing is represented only in Alligator directories, but also worth paying attention to less expensive sparco products.

How to wear a braid

Braids are available in two types:

• Finished products that need only to pull on the steering wheel.
• Hauling the steering wheel with genuine leather, which you want to sew yourself.

In the first case, the accessory dresses top down. To do this, first, you need to attach a braid to the steering wheel and check that it does not cover the control levers or buttons. After that, it needs to start treading on the top of the steering wheel. As soon as the top will be in its place, it needs to be consolidated (better if someone will help you and just hold it). After that, lock the lower part.

Useful! Before putting the leather braid on the steering wheel, hold it for a while under the hair dryer, so the material will become more elastic and "obedient".

The only drawback of finished products is that if the accessory is at least a little from the steering wheel, it will look bad. To leave yourself "maneuvers" to adjust, it is better to give preference to models that need to be sewed alone.

It is done quite simply, since the leather canvase has already done holes for lacing, it remains only to choose exactly how you lace up the product.

What to pay attention to when choosing a braid

If you attracted the braid steering wheel from pressed skin or usual, then before purchasing it, pay attention to the following useful tips:

• Acquire products from genuine leather online better from official dealers.
• If you acquire a natural leather accessory and you have any doubts, then distinguish artificial material is very simple: it makes a sharp chemical smell, when tensioning the color of the material changes, has the pores of the same size. Hold the leather product in your hands - if it is genuine leather, then the material quickly heats up, and the hands will not sweat. "Kozam" accumulates heat more slowly, and moisture drops almost immediately formed on it.

• On packing with braid from genuine leather, inscriptions are usually found: Genuine Leather; Vera Pelle; cuir; Echtleder (in English, Italian, French and German, respectively). This suggests that you are not fake.

In custody

Such an accessory for the steering wheel will allow you to drive a car with comfort, without fear that the hand will slip from the steering wheel in the most uncomfortable moment.

Now the steering wheel without braid is that a person without clothes. After buying a car, every car enthusiast seeks to give the salon the best design. And braid on the steering wheel is one of the most distinguished criteria for a cozy and comfortable cabin. To top it all, the surveys of motorists are evidenced, the thicker "Baranka", the more convenient and easier to turn it. In our article we will analyze how to choose and how to put the braid on the car's wheel.

Such different braids

Braids differ in color, texture, materials, width and design. And on the steering wheel, different models can be kept differently. Some are made on a rubber-based basis, others - on the lacing, the third and at all require them to be sewn from the inside. Next, we will look at how to put on the steering wheel of various modifications on the steering wheel.

Why do you need to buy braids by steering wheel?

If you buy a braid not in size, especially the one that is not tightened around the rim of the steering wheel, that is, on a rubber-based basis, the driver may have the following problems:

• Too small braid size will lead to the fact that you will not be able to pull it into the steering wheel physically. We will have to go back to the store and change to a larger size.
• Too large braid size will lead to an slippage of the steering wheel. In case you suddenly need to sharply smoothly, the raw steering wheel can lead to the fact that only the braid turns instead of the steering wheel, and this threatens the creation of an emergency.

The braid should be tightly pressed to the external rudder rid or tighten it completely. Therefore, before learn how to handle the braid on the steering wheel, you should first figure it out how to buy it in size.

Measure the size of the steering wheel

If you do not know the diameter of your steering wheel - not a problem. It can be measured by any tape measure or sewing centimeter. When buying it is important to know the two main parameters:

• the diameter of the steering wheel;
• rim coverage.

In order to find out the diameter, measure the distance between the two points of the steering wheel, which mentally conducted a line through the center.

To measure the width of the rim, measure it on the coverage.

Now that we know all the magnitude you need, you can safely go to the store behind the braid. Read more about how to choose a braid for a car can be found from the following video.

Safety Range Criteria

The safest type of braid is the one that will need to be sewed along the inner edge of the rim of the steering wheel. Such a braid will be akin to the roll itself and will not be verified under any jerks. In addition, the internal "ribs" of the steering wheel will be disturbed. The lacing will not give to check by the braid physically.

The second security, but at the same time the most budget and widespread type of braid - on the rubber band. That is, the braid is not that in a rubber basis. She simply elastic and can stretch for a certain number of centimeters. Such a braid is also safe, but only provided that it will be bought in size.

Wear an elastic braid

Now come close to the question, how to wear a braid on the steering wheel. Let's start with a simpler option - elastic. Since it is possible to wear a braid on the steering wheel without a lacing, without resorting to any gear tools and tools, just sit down behind the wheel and get your new braid from the case. The following instructions will be as follows:

Everything. The process is completed. You can go on a way with a new braid.

Wear a lacing braid

Now we'll figure it out how to wear a lacing braid on the steering wheel. There will have to gain patience and bearing longer. Included with the braid should go their dither cord and needle. If not, you can choose a needle at your discretion, the main thing is that it is long enough. 7 cm - the most optimal option, the main thing is that the head cord can crawl into the ear. The tip it will be better to fasten a little so that it does not damage the braid material.

Usually lacing braids are made of leather or high-quality leatherette. Such material will further increase the security of the car control, and not only due to the lacing. The skin does not slip in the hands themselves, and drive the car will become more comfortable.

Here is the instruction, how to wear a leather braid with lacing:

1. Block the steering wheel.
2. We have (wear) braid on the steering wheel. It will be a non-zero, but it's just until we were tune.
3. Follow the seam, as in the previous case, was in the back of the steering wheel. For this, the braid we throw on the steering wheel and stretch starting with the back (from the driver side) the side of the Baranki.
4. Align the braid so that the joint of it, which we will be sewed, was exactly in the center of the circumference of the internal rim.
5. Inwing the cord in the needle and do the nodules at the end of the capronic thread, so that the thread did not slip at the beginning of sewing through the hole in the seat of the braid.
6. We start starting on the side of the seam in the back of the steering wheel, and the first seam is made from the back of the stitching of the braid, the only time by skipping the needle through one of the holes of the stitch, so that the nodule remains inside the future cover and tightly there.
7. All subsequent stitches are made only through the stitches of the seat and the first to do the needle under the stitches of the stitching of the upper and lower edges of the braid, located strictly opposite each other.
8. Take the thread, we are tightened. And then we act in the same way. Next stitch. Insert the needle under the next line of stitching from above and below. We are tightened. So far, do not reach the inner "edge" of the steering wheel.
9. We skip the thread under the edge and continue to flash (pull) the edges of the braid on, behind the edge.
10. When the entire circumference of the braid is clutched and we returned to the lower part of the braid to the longitudinal seam, tie the nodule. Everyone can do it in different ways. The main thing is that it is not very noticeable. The edge of the kapron thread after tying should be embedded inside the braid, leaking it there with the needle tip.

All, the grip process is completed. To whom it is interesting to look at the process from the side, can familiarize yourself with the video.

We hope that our article on how to choose and how to wear a braid on the steering wheel, was helpful to you. Good luck to you.

In most cases, when the conversation comes about cars, people first represent the wheels and the steering wheel. The steering wheel is indeed one of the main elements of the driver's workplace, as well as driving a car. It should be noted that sitting in the salon, the person first examines the steering wheel, and then the dashboard of the car, etc. So it is not difficult to conclude that the reliability of the ram, the appearance and quality of contact with it significantly both on the comfort of driving and on the car handling as a whole.

Each car owner is sooner or later thinking about improving his own car or acquiring better. As for the steering wheel, in this case there are some options: or a complete replacement, or the purchase of such a useful accessory, like braid on the steering wheel. Next, we will consider in more detail the second option.

What to pay attention to?

To date, there is a huge number of a wide variety of braids. And in order to choose, among all this manifold, the one that would satisfy in all respects, you need to pay attention to several points.

The first of them is the quality of the contact of the hands with the steering wheel. If your hands do not slide, you will keep the steering wheel more confident, and, as a result, the indicators of the car maneuverability and management reliability will rise. It should be noted that the thickness of the steering wheel with a molding of the steering wheel is also influenced on the quality of the clutch with the surface of the steering wheel: the thicker will be the so-called "steering wheel", the faster the driver's hands are tired, the likelihood of entering the road accident will increase. So it makes no sense to chase for the attractiveness of this automotive accessory, if you do not think, first of all, about driving comfort.

The next no less important point that needs to be taken into account is the quality of the materials used. Of course, it is better to give preference with natural materials or if artificial, then high quality, because in places of hand contact with the wheel should ensure sufficient ventilation, absorbing moisture. Also remember that most often from the quality of the material from which the purchased braid was made will depend on the simplicity of further care.

And, of course, do not forget that the appearance of the selected braid should not disturb the visual harmony in the color scheme and the design of the cabin of your car.

The selection of braid on the steering wheel

The entire time-consuming process of screening inappropriate options is best broken into several stages, which will help you save precious time.

Material

Earlier, this moment was mentioned, but it was about the characteristics that the braid material should possess. Now in detail about what a similar accessory can be made. This list is large enough, we will dwell only at the main points:

• Porolon. Sponge (foam) braids usually attract attention to their non-standard design, bright colorful, massiveness, they are considered predominantly to the youth option. Also are often used by drivers that are not satisfied with the current thickness of the steering wheel of their car. Among the minuses it is worth highlighting a fairly loss of shape, elasticity, especially in models of low and medium price categories.
• Fur, plush, suede. Fur braid on the steering wheel is usually found at female drivers.
• Natural (artificial) leather. Leather braid on the steering wheel - a universal popular option with the standard care requirements, which is enjoyable using both men and women. Such versatility affects the cost of the product, which is high enough (if we talk for a really high-quality case).
• Machrov microfiber. The main advantage of this material is that such a cover will not give your hands to freeze when driving in any weather.
• Nubuk. The material is pleasant to the touch, has a beautiful appearance, practical.
• The cloth. A fabric cover practically does not change the thickness of the steering wheel. It has a short service life, is considered one of the budget options.

An equally popular product is a braid on the steering wheel with a lacing, and the lacing will not be bonding, you can see the models where it will perform exclusively decorative function. Buying such a braid, you will receive a set consisting of the upholstery itself, a long lace, needles with a blunt end, with which you can easily lace a cover on the steering wheel.

The size

Of course, it is very important that the size of the purchased braid coincides with the sizes of the steering wheel of your car, because the accessory must fit tightly to the Baranki surface. Currently there are only four sizes of similar covers:

• S (35-37 centimeters) - are usually installed in small cars;
• M (37-38 centimeters) is one of the most common sizes of braids, bought for many foreign cars and automobiles of domestic production;
• L (39-40 centimeters) - Designed for representatives of the representative class;
• XL (42-43 centimeters) - usually purchased for the steering wheel of a truck of domestic or foreign production.

Correct braid care

The product from the leatherette is needed from time to time to wipe with a rag with a moaying substance, natural skin will have to periodically process with special cleaning compositions that produce certain firms so that it does not lose its properties for a long time.

As for suede braids or products from synthetic fabric, in this case the dry cleaning of the brush or by the car vacuum cleaner will help, wash, quite possibly lead to a deterioration in the quality of the appearance and adjacent to the surface of the steering wheel. Unfortunately, such braids are short-lived and sooner or later, the effect even from dry cleaning will be minimal.

Install the braid on the steering wheel

After you choose the right size, the material, you like the appearance of the purchased cover, it's time to think about such an equally important issue as the dressing of braids on the steering wheel. We highlight a few moments that will certainly help you cope with this task:

1. Before starting all the work, heal the accessory to room temperature to increase its elasticity.
2. Installing the heated braid starts from the top of the steering wheel, do not forget to fix the already installed part.
3. Under any conditions, do not use various foreign objects to install, if you do not want to increase the chances of damage not only the cover, but also the steering wheel itself.

Installation of braid on the steering wheel (video)

Imagine that you decided to upgrade your car's salon. The covers for seats made of genuine leather, pulled the front panel, ceiling, doors, and even the handle of the gearbox. But your new interior will look unfinished until you change the appearance of the steering wheel. The easiest and fastest way to do it is to wear a steering fell.

Surely you have more than once asked: And why do you need a neglection, if the steering wheel can be just painted in the desired color? To begin with, it performs a decorative function. You can choose the appropriate material and color gamut and refresh the car's interior. There is a napkin and other useful functions. For example, it increases the thickness of the steering wheel, making grip more convenient. The material under your hands will be soft, and in cold weather heavier than the original plastic steering wheel.

EXPLATE Reliable protect your steering wheel from mechanical damage

In addition, the pole protects the steering wheel itself from mechanical damage: scratches, chips, pulp. If the material has deteriorated during operation, the overtake is easy to remove and install a new one, while the steering wheel itself will have to restore long and carefully. If you got a used car, whose steering wheel can no longer boast the factory type, such a cover will help to hide all the flaws.

Another important feature: the pole will provide reliable grip between the surface of the steering wheel and your hands. Your palms do not slip at the time of controlling the car, and therefore travel will be safer.

The appearance of the steering wheel became much more expensive, it looks like on cars the class above. I would also like to especially note that the steering wheel became thicker, not so slippery, as before, and most importantly - now he is pleasant to the touch. In a word, pleased with what happened, including the price tag and ease of installation.

Choosing a fever on the steering wheel, you will face a large variety of materials. Among the most popular species can be allocated as follows:

• natural and artificial leather feet;
• fur strings;
• wire shafts;
• silicone linings;
• poropolone covers.

As a separate category, useful benefits can be allocated: in addition to their basic functions, they have a number of additional benefits. These, for example, include covers on the heated steering wheel and massage linings. Consider each of the types of more.

Leather boobs

As we have already noted, the skin for the manufacture of feet is used both natural and artificial. Of course, genuine leather will be stronger, soft and pleasant to the touch than artificial. However, its price may be 3-4 times higher, which makes it inaccessible for a variety of motorists. As an artificial (it is also called ecocuses) and genuine leather have good performance. Such a material will not fill in the sun and will not swell from entering the moisture. He is not afraid of temperature differences.

Usually leather covers choose male representatives. This material looks solid and expensive, fits into the interior of any car. The leather case can become a good gift for the holiday.

When choosing such a fever, give preference to perforated skin. It is softer to the touch and better passes the air, creating a breathable effect.

Perforated leather is much softer than the usual

Fur

The fur used for steering fells can also be artificial and natural. Natural fur is better retaining heat in cold weather. Although, if you do not ride in the cities of the Polar region, the artificial material will cope not worse. Often, when manufacturing covers, sheepskin is used.

Wanted fur is very popular for the manufacture of steering wheels

Artificial fur with a long pile is often stained in bright colors, complement funny elements. The use of such a cover will be issued in the owner of the car with a cheerful and carefree personality. Such pants most often choose young women.

Fur Greeting with a long multicolored pile will look cute in the interior of a female car

Braided covers

Wires from the wire covers are also called retro-fellows, because they were very popular in the middle of the last century. Now such pants use those who want to stylize their iron horse under the classic car of the times of the Soviet Union.

Wicker covers retain their main functions: protection of the steering wheel from damage and from scoring hands. At the same time, their price is much lower than that of leather and fur analogues. The most popular material for the manufacture of wicker covers is the usual wire with insulation, which is found in the garage almost everyone. Some craftsmen make nurses from hard and thin linen rods.

For car decoration in retro style, use a cover wicker

Wire lamp can be ordered in special workshops, and you can make it yourself using weaving schemes. Using different colors, you can create your own unique steering design.

Silicone and foam covers

Often, silicone or foam rubber is used for the manufacture of steering fever. Manufacturing technology helps to make covers from these materials inexpensive, but perfectly copier with all tasks. The color gamut of such feet is very diverse: you can meet both calm pastel shades and bright neon tones. Color pattern, and transparent silicone to protect your steering wheel, but will open its original appearance.

Silicone pants can be both bright and more muted shades.

Useful benefits

The useful covelaces, as mentioned earlier, can be attributed to the heated raids. Material in their manufacture can be used any, but most often it is natural or eco-leave. It is enough to connect the wire from the cover to the cigarette lighter, and you are provided with additional heated palms.

Additional heating inside the steering neck will make the car control in winter more comfortable

Massage inserts on flaps are usually made of rubber. Special relief affects certain points on the palms, improves blood circulation, thereby preventing fatigue and pushing hands.

How to choose a fence on the steering wheel

By purchasing a fever, it is not enough to choose only the color and material. It is very important to determine the correct size and form of the part.

In size

The case must necessarily approach the steering wheel. If you choose too small, you will not be able to tighten it, and too big will be ugly hang and form folds. To find out the diameter of the steering wheel, use the meter ribbon.

The measured row of steering covers is represented by the following types:

• S is the smallest size, suitable for steels with a diameter of 35 to 36 cm, is usually used on small machines, like an eye or Tavria;
• M - the average size for steels of 37-38 cm, occurs on most modern foreign and domestic cars with the body type sedan, hatchback or electionback;
• L is a large size, designed for steers, whose diameter is 39-40 cm;
• XL - steering wheel diameter 41-43 cm, is usually found on UAZ and Gazelle cars
• 2XL - this size is found in some import trucks, the diameter of the steering wheel is 47-48 cm.
• 3XL - for steels with a diameter of 49 cm, occurs from domestic kamaz.

It will be more reliable if you manufacture a cover yourself or order it in a special workshop. Professionals will accurately measure the diameter of your steering wheel and prepare a hatch, ideally suitable in size.

On the brand and car model

To find out the diameter of your steering wheel, look at the instruction manual. In different models, the diameter may differ slightly. If you do not want to risk with a selection of a cover on the wheel room, use the finished solution: you can find special rags made by lecture for most popular cars. Whether in the search bar, the request indicating your model and choose from a variety of options proposed.

By purchasing a cover in this way, you can be sure that it will fit not only on the diameter of the steering wheel, but also in the thickness of the rim, as well as the arrangement of the spokes and buttons.

By sight

Everything is simple here: they determined the size and model, followed by the visual selection. First, decide on the material. Skin, fur or modern synthetic materials will create a fundamentally different image to you and your car. Think out the color gamut of the salon: if it completely covers the skin of black color, then the bright pink long fur will look ridiculous. If insertion inserts inserts of red, beige, blue or other contrasting shades in the trim, the steering wheel in a similar gamma will support the color solution.

How to make it yourself - instruction

If you do not want to spend money on ready-made pants, you can make it with your own hands. To do this, you will need a standard set of sewing accessories, the material itself for the nearest, pattern, as well as a little time and patience.

Materials and tools

First of all, prepare all the necessary materials and tools. These include:

• selected material for a new case;
• old case (if any);
• food film;
• malyary Scotch;
• marker;
• tailor chalk;
• sharp tailoring scissors and stationery knife;
• special threads for working with skin;
• sewing machine suitable for working with leather (or for the material you choose);
• glue.

The process of creating a cover for the steering wheel

The process of creating a steering wheel will differ depending on whether you are going to close the needle cover. If not, it will be much easier to make it.

1. Member tape measure two main parameters: the length of the circle of the steering wheel (future length of the product), as well as the circumference of the rim itself (future width of the product).
2. Based on these figures, cut the skin strip of the corresponding length and width. If you use the skin, which is characterized by high elasticity, retreat about 1 mm inside the part. This will allow better and tighten the resulting cover on the steering wheel.
3. Pull the detail with a sewing machine at a distance of about 3 mm from the edge on both sides.

For a napkin without spokes, use the leather ribbon of the desired length and width

If you want the cover to cover the needles, you need to make a pattern for the future pattern. This is done as follows.

1. Tightly wrap the steering wheel of the food film.
2. On top of the film, cover the greasy tape into several layers. It should cover the entire surface of the steering wheel, without gaps. Pay special attention to the knitting needles.
3. Marker Spend a line in the center of the inside of the rift of the steering wheel. Now you denote the place of the future seam. Divide the steering wheel on the sections from the knitting needles. If you wish, you can make only one seam - central, but in this case you will have to try to very much when lacing.
4. Stationery knife cut the greasy tape for the designated lines and remove it from the steering wheel. You got peculiar patterns.
5. Apply the resulting patterns to the involving side of the material from which the case will be made. With chalk gently transfer the contours, observing all the bends.
6. Cut the resulting item. If you use the skin, which is characterized by high elasticity, retreat about 1 mm inside the part. This will allow better and tighten the resulting cover on the steering wheel.
7. Pull the detail with a sewing machine at a distance of about 3 mm from the edge on both sides. If you wish, you can sew part of each other.
8. Melt the edges of the details with a thin layer of glue and fix on the steering wheel. If you did not stitch them earlier, watch the joints be invisible.

Making patterns for steering wheel

Purley the steam wheel with a scotch and apply markup

Sew a hatch with your own hands will be much easier if you already have an old case. All you need is to resort it on the seams and move the contours to the new material, and then cut, strain and put on the steering wheel.

How to wear and lace a fear

Now you have to wear and lace the resulting felling. This process will differ, although not drastically, depending on whether the cover suggests the closing of the helm of the helm.

Methods of installation on the steering wheel with the knitting needles and without them

The main difference is the need to dismantle the steering. If the length is not designed for the needles, you can fix it, leaving the steering wheel in your place. But to install a cover with a material for the spokes, you will have to remove the steering wheel with a regular way.

Before dismantling the steering wheel, do not forget to turn off the battery. If its housing contains a airbag, then leaving at least 5 minutes before starting to disassemble the steering wheel.

For sale there are one-piece covers that do not need to be launched. They wear on the top of the steering wheel, and then with an effort stretched onto the whole wheel. It is desirable that at the same time someone helped fixing the pad at the top. Otherwise she can slip. The edges of such a cover will clounce, and you will not have to spend precious time on the lacing.

If you made a fever with your own hands, or bought an option involving lacing, you will have to fix it yourself. It is quite a long, but absolutely simple process. You do not need to be able to sew and make beautiful stitches, because everything you need is already ready.

1. If your case is made of genuine leather, soak it in warm water for 15-20 minutes. This will increase the elasticity of the material.
2. Arm yourself with a sewing needle. It should not be especially thick, as you have to skip it under threads.
3. You will not need to calculate the material with a needle. Pay attention to the line you (or the manufacturer) made in paragraphs No. 3 and 7 of the instructions for making patterns. Skip the needle under stitches and tighten the material.
4. Start from the bottom of the steering wheel and move counterclockwise. It is most convenient to do the first screed at the beginning of one of the lower spokes.
5. Carefully straighten and slightly pull the material. Try to avoid folds and distortions.
6. Treat the entire seam in this way. On the spokes you will have to fix and turn the thread. You can estimate the required length and the number of threads in advance, measuring the distance between the knitting needles.
7. When the nepheet is fully fixed, scatter it again and dry it. After that, the material will make the steering wheel tightly.

Take the needle under stitches and connect both sides.

If in some places it does not work perfectly stretch the skin, warm it up with a regular hairdryer. With increasing temperature, its elasticity increases.

She put on the steering wheel, put the seam in the center, began to understand the thread. I decided to sew through one, just looked like sheltered leather rudders on the machines from the plant. As a result, the hour and a half or two works and the steering wheel is ready. Threads still remained meter. Now it looks at all as a native, on the steering wheel all the village. The result is very pleased, the steering wheel has become more convenient and pleasant to the touch.

Types of Rule Wheel Lace

Change the lamp is extremely harder than to cord boots. You can use threads to tone material. In this case, there is not a big difference, which method you will cord a fever. But if you want to give your Ruly an unusual look, use the threads of one or more contrasting colors. Bright threads can be used at the stage when the item is striking.

The screed of the patch can be made in several ways. Who is more convenient and nurser. I used the easiest thing when the thread is running in each seam, an igniting the outlet along the contour and tightening it on the like shoe lace. The thread was the same color, the decision is temporary - so I did not show off. For the future there were plans to use a red thread for a screed. But, for this, at least normal skin is needed + additional covering at least the automatic transmission lever. To finish the key elements did not differ from each other.

Depending on the selected type of lacing, the general type of steering can radically change

Some lacing implies the simultaneous use of two needles with threads. Carefully read and select a scheme that suits you the most.

Macrame lacing looks rather unusual, therefore it is often used when fixing the steering wheel. The thread is running under stitch, stretches to the opposite side, and then passes under the stitch located one above. Thus, a diagonal lacing is obtained through each second stitch on both sides. The thread is tightly tightened and seam is formed.

In order to make a lacing, called sports, it is necessary to start weaving the previous method, and before the final tie to put the second thread, which in the same way will pass under all missed stitches. Such a double macro and is considered a sports lacing.

With a sports lacing to a seam by Macrame, another thread is added

There is a second version of the sports lacing. With it, only one thread is used, and it is done in each stitch, without skips. After tightening the seam looks very interesting.

The second type of sports seam is made in one thread and without passing stitches.

And also there are ways of lacing, for which the initial line does not need. Thread holes are made through a special device. These seams include pigtails, tree and some others. Weaving schemes you can understand by studying the following image and video.

For some types of lacing you need to pierce the fabric

There is nothing complicated in the technique, there is nothing difficult, we cling to the needle first a loop on one side of the fever, then to another, then again on the first and so on. I first just "laid" a fever, and after everything "launched" has already stretched the thread. I did it for several reasons. Firstly, from the first site, it will not be possible to delay, because the opposite end of the pole is not fixed, and, secondly, since the scotch does not stick, the edges of the poles were very much walked along the steering wheel.

Remember that the sides of the material need to be pulled only after you skip the curning thread under all the necessary stitches. So the shaped seam will be even. In order for the result to be better, practice on the strip of the neck before putting it on the steering wheel. If you are satisfied, what the selected seam looks like, boldly install the case on the steering wheel.

Make a fever on the wheel of a car for almost anyone. If you do it for the first time, stop at the case without a spice. If you already have experience of having other details, you can choose more complex materials and methods. As for the lacing process, he takes more time than forces. If you or the manufacturer bothered in advance about the line on the details, everything that you have, it is to be trained under the stitches the thread so that you are moving your favorite costers. And the variety of seams and weaving will help make your steering wheel unlike others. And if you make a fever on the steering wheel so simple, then why not save on the services of automobile studies?
