One of the first things I want to do is wrap my rubber steering wheel of my XLT with a good quality hand stitch leather wrap. Does anyone have good experience with these and if so which do you like. I was looking into changing the steering out for a factory leather wheel as well but if the aftermarket wraps are good I’ll try that first. Any thoughts or pictures would be great. Thank you

I've been looking for the same thing. A lot of wraps on Amazon and I would think anything that works for a Bronco Sport or Escape would fit the Mav. I even saw one that is just plain leather you cut to fit and stitch to the steering wheel yourself.

I have done several steering wheels with Wheelskins brand, and always been extremely happy with the results. Just wear some half-finger gloves or better yet some leather finger covers on your pinky fingers, and be sure to pull every stitch *tight*

You are speaking my language. I thought the EXACT same thing.

After market ones work great depending on the steering wheel. If the steering wheel has places to tuck in the leather behind the trim, it looks great. See the leather wrap on my Honda Fit where you can tucked it under both the front and the back side.

On the Maverick, there isn't a place to tuck it on the back side. That means you will need to double side tape it or glue it to the rubber. I had bought the kit and didn't end up using it because of this. I bought a Euro Fiesta ST leather wrap steering wheel instead.
