I have an '05 LR3 and the steering wheel is showing some wear on top. It has gotten sticky when I hold it for a few minutes straight. It only gets sticky where it is worn. Do you know of any solutions for this? Maybe a polish or leather sealant.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Several dealers are replacing them under the warranty, although you need to bug them. Mine is over factory warranty, so I am going to have to do battle with LRNA to get mine changed. I understand that the replacement leather wheels aren't nearly as good a grip, though...

I have a 2005 LR3 with the same problem. The top started first and now the sides are doing the same. I have 22K miles so it is still under warranty. I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem and any luck in having Land Rover replacing the steering wheel. I am in Houston plan to go to Austin in 2 weeks like the dealer there better than Houston. Plan to see if they will warranty. I would appreciate any feedback from others having same problem.
