[QUOTE="Liquidyellow, post: 177252, member: 2675"] Well fair play to Renault. I took the RSTwingo (facelift) in for a service in January and explained that the leather steering wheel had ‘melted’ in the sun the previous August at 1yo and 8k miles. (…my last RSTwingo had the same problem at 40k but outside warranty). Renault immediately agreed to replace the wheel like for like under the 4 year warranty – no quibble – not a squeak - 2 weeks later it was fitted in a 1 hour sit and wait slot. Sadly, I have every expectation that this one will melt too, but I’ll cover it up on sunny days; if it does I will be asking for another. For those that haven’t had the problem, the top very thin layer of leather slides ever so slightly and the holes appear blocked – normally at the 11 and 1 o’clock position. The leather then ‘rucks up’ into small ridges over the next 1k miles and then there is a touching cloth moment when you go round a corner and the leather just peels off. [/QUOTE]
