    My Series III steering wheel did that every time it was cold and rainy. It did it for all of the 23 years that I owned it.

    I live in Colac, about 50 k away from the place in Victoria with the highest rainfall, and some cold weather winter........this is not a good option.

    I will probably try painting it, I have a shed full of paint as that is my lot in life. Or a spiffy leather cover

    I think that at some stage during the time I had mine, I saw some information suggesting that the steering wheel could be cleaned up and painted with something.

    Mine wasn't a big enough problem to be worth doing, but I had the impression that sealing the surface with some sort of paint worked.

    Pangolin has very spiffy lace up leather covers
    Accessories
    Fits perfectly and suits the Series style, a quality product to boot. I wouldn't mind one for my County now too.
