Description of the problem | Steering wheel plastic cover catches finger at 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock when trying to turn. Placing finger and turning steering wheel catches finger and could lead to an accident. Plastic sticks out from the black back plastic that it touches. In my car it's a gray accent u shaped that starts on the left side of the airbag and goes down and around to the right side of the airbag. The tough part of the u-shaped goes from the left and you have the telephone buttons radio buttons on one side and then your cruise control buttons on the other in the center of the top of the u-shap. Down along the bottom when it touches the outside of steering wheel that's where your finger can get caught when trying to turn it while driving. If you reach your hand in through the small bottom holes and pull out you can fill the extra plastic and almost a shapness down along the bottom when it touches the outside of steering well that's where your finger to get caught when trying to turn it while driving. If you reach your hand in through the small bottom holes and pull out you can fill the extra plastic and almost a sharpness from it . |
