Default Leather on steering wheel has a slash...

On the bottom side of my steering wheel is a small slash / cut and I can feel it sometimes when I am driving. Anyone know how I can fix this?

was it caused by something you did or did it happen to get dry and crack? if so you can take it to lexus and they should replace the wheel if its in warranty atleast they did that for me when my wheel started peeling

what do you mean by peeling? I noticed around the stichings mine has like a ripped kinda look and the top part where I hold it is pitting like crazy.

They said its normal wear and tear. im gonna go back I think.

the leather dried out and I could see little pieces of the smooth black leather peeling back where I would grip the wheel and it was way uncomfortable to hold

nope. it is a small and fine cut and I can just feel it. I guess I need to stop in to a upholstery place and see what they can do for me.
