A fine daughter you have there Chip. And she is correct, the yoga moves needed to do the steering wheel does make the job suck. Good job Alex, now ask Dad if you can take the car out Saturday night.

Am I the only one that would move the car and crank the steering wheel one way to do the stitching, and then the other way to do the other side, so as to have easier access?

She is a little bitty thing 19yo - 5'2 - 100lbs soaking wet

You should see her row a gear box at the track.

It's my 20yo Son that I worry about - he's a little more like Dad

Regards
Chip

Nope, you're not Lisa. Exactly what I did, but even with that you still have to get into some odd positions to get all the stitching. My parts don't move as fluid as they did in my younger days.
