Steven,
I have never seen this... as the steering wheel pocket does not
have a direct contact with the steering wheel... such that it
would do anything like that. The pocket is bigger than it needs
to be... maybe because I have a 15" Motolita. I have to "set it
up" to make sure it is straight and will promote water run-off in
the right directions and not puddle around the pocket.

Subject: TR4: Melting steering wheel
I was reminded by Fred's note in re fiberglass strap impressions
left in a
hoisted hardtop. Under the hot sun, the underside of my tonneau
cover
"texturizes" the steering wheel where they come into contact.
Does this happen
with a stock TR4 wheel? Or is it the result of the PO's
"restoration" of an
original black plastic steering wheel? Or is this a special
feature for improved
control?
...which he installed after he sold off the dealer-option wood
wheel because it
felt flimsy. D'oh! I'm not bitter of course, since another lucky
list member is
enjoying it and I'm sure someday he'll tire of it and sell it
back to me. <g>
