Is this from the factory or did the dealer do this?

How did they not check the wheel before they put it on??? Morons.

"uhhhh. aren't those thumb indents for better grip?"
"no, but i doubt the customer would notice. let's go with it"
"hey who's got that roll of electric tape?

@nospleen what was the issue with your original wheel? should we be worried?

Nothing to worry over. The stitching was coming loose and they said it would be easier to just replace as they didn’t have a way to repair.

that's scary! I'm sorry for your bad experience and wish you the best of luck moving forward.

Just had my DH steering wheel replaced under warranty. Popped the hood when I got home as I was cleaning the car.

Is this electrical tape normal or did they break a tab or something and then tape?

Also, I assume you all have one of those plastic bolts where this hole is?

Go to time: 7:48 in video, looks like the electrical tape is supposed to be there to help keep cover closed.

Just left them a message. I removed the electrical tape and no clips were broken, but you have to put it on in a certain way to get it to clip in. Maybe they just tried once and then taped it.

I have to call them anyway as the replacement steering wheel is messed up. In their defense on this, they left the plastic on it. I removed that when I got home and saw this. Left side looks good, right side, not so much.

I’ll have them order a new wheel and plastic bolt and hopefully this will be the last time I have to take it in.

Are there any other Ford Dealers in your neighborhood?
It’s hard to believe they would want to install that Eye Sore.

Yes, I just preferred to take it to one where I knew someone. Didn’t quite work out. They have ordered a replacement, so should all work out.
