    My wife's 2019 Rav4's steering wheel looks like crap... Is there any way to remedy this, and has anyone else had this issue with their newer Toyotas?
    Wish I knew what caused it..

    My wife's 2016 RAV4 doesn't show any sign of that. I would look for a sleeve that size if appearance is a problem.

    Never thought about it, but she is a nurse & she keeps hand sanitizer in the car.. I bet thats it.. she holds the steering wheel with her left hand, close to her lap too -
