[T3] Steering wheel cover (VW)?

[charles tupper]

I installed a ton of them.  I guess they were VWP (with a ZVW Part number) accessories as were most accessories that were "approved" by VWoA for installation.  Just like the Sapphire radios were the main accessory radio in the US ... up until the 74-75 time-frame ... dealers were pretty much forced to buy the VW Products accessories ... our dealership (because of a relative at the start-up company "Audiovox") started installing the non-VWP radios in about 74/75.  The mark-up was unreal (AM-FM 8-Track cost us $39.00 and was sold as a several hundred $$$ option).

My 72 had one of them cheap store bought looking covers that you by that
goes of the steering wheel and is wrapped with the plastic binding to
hold it on. 

I had to remove it  because it was getting real dry and cracking in some
places and extremely sticky and icky in others. 

Upon removing it I noticed it was not aftermarket but was actually
stamped with the VW emblem underneath a section of binging .

My question is what this on option or was it an item sold like in the
Drivers Gear VW now has?

I plan on for now replacing it since the steering wheel is in less than
desirable shape and it helps hide and smooth out the imperfections.



Here is a picture of it removed:

It had adhered itself so removal was not easy.
