    Been looking into getting my steering wheel redone because the original leather is getting shiny and hard, but I’ll be honest – I’m a bit paranoid about anyone taking apart that part of the car. Like, how does the shop remove the old cover and stitch a new one on without affecting the airbag mechanism or messing with the multimedia controls? I tried finding a detailed explanation online and stumbled on https://exoticcarcare.ae/chrysler-detailing-abu-dhabi/ which shows the before and after, but I’m more curious about the actual process. Do they have to disconnect the battery? Do they remove the whole wheel or work on it while it’s still attached? And how do they ensure the new wrap doesn’t interfere with the horn or paddle shifters? If anyone here has watched them do it or knows a bit about the technique, I’d really appreciate the breakdown. Just want to understand what I’m signing up for before handing over the keys.
