Steering wheel leather damage

My car has been parked in the sun a lot which has led to sun damage as seen in this photo.
I wanted to see what’s the best way to get this cracking on steering wheel corrected.
Thanks

That wheel is toast. You can have it recovered by someone like Coby, or you can buy a new wheel. Sometimes they pop up in the for sale section or ebay.

Here's the problem: you don't have a steering wheel while it's getting fixed.

Coby do core exchange. He can send you a wheel first with a core deposit.

Your steering wheel, more specifically your leather, cannot be saved. A new oem M Performance alcantara flat bottom steering wheel would be my choice. Price is around $750.

I ended up just replacing my worn steering wheel, but for fun, I reconditioned the old one with the Colourlock kit.

Holy crap, it looks almost brand new. Their black dye is an exact match. I had to experiment a bit to get the finish just right, but it turned out very nicely.
