The front cover, hmmm, I put mine back on when I moved to PA. It immediately broke into a number of small fragmented pieces. I guess it didn't like sitting around the back of the VX for all those years in Jersey. Rubber got brittle and just fell apart with any pressure.
My steering wheel keeps getting sticky where my left thumb sits on teh side of the wheel. Only spot. I can safely assume it is grease/dirt buildup, but it always comes back.
