steering wheel peeling off

Anyone having this problem? I have an 05 lariat and the top of the steering wheel is peeling off. It's where I hold on to it the most, it also feels kinda sticky in that spot I have tried to clean it with leather cleaner/ mild soapy water.... would warranty cover this?

My original wheel was getting sticky. At 15K miles I mentioned it to my dealer and they replaced it per TSB-04-24-3, which is for the leather coming loose. Mine wasn't coming loose, just sticky

What have you been using to clean yours with?

usually just a wet terry cloth towel sometimes I use leather cleaner/ conditioner I will check with the dealer if not I will get a cover for it.

That seems to be a problem with the steering wheels, especially on 03 & odler models. So there must be a dealer fix for it. Also try not gripping the wheel so much and dont let it slide against your palm.
