2005 Steering wheel cover off center

[PLE999]

I found this 50th Anniversary model, black on black, 54k original miles, last November. I am rarely allowed to drive it. Today, I realized the steering wheel cover is off-center. It appears to be hand-sewn in place. Is that a factory accessory?

 

[Rust]

no, that is done by hand, but it is not factory.

You can tell pretty quickly this did not come from the factory like this. haha. Now the question is what is it hiding beneath?

Boy I hope that isn't a symptom of a repair after an air bag having deloyed. or having been stolen (there was a spate of air bag thefts a few years back, now its apparently catalytic convertos - ugh!) Might want to check around for some indications of damage.

Just curious about, "I am rarely allowed to drive it..."

No sign of anything like that. The car is pretty much like new.

It is HERS. She puts less than 100 miles per week on it.
