We have been looking high and low for a steering wheel cover that fits. Everything we have found so far is too big. Anyone know of a brand that will fit?
I will be keeping an eye on this thread as we've had the same issue with both our 2009 GTs. I have tried a couple different styles and brands and they've all been too big .
What year is your Vibe?

I had Wheelskins on my Olds back when I had it. They were much cheaper back then, but they were pretty nice. Except the top of my first one started cracking and peeling in the sun, so I had to replace it. Much better than the cheap hard plastic GM made their wheels out of back in the 80's.

I have one on my '09 as well. Like the additional thickness it adds to the rim and additional grip in with gloves in the winter Wipe it down with leather conditioner on a regular basis and it won't dry-out of crack.

Okay, I have solved the issue of steering wheel covers not fitting our Vibes properly! I bought two of [url=ttp://www.bellautomotive.com/Inside-Grip-Stee ... 3138-1.htm]these steering wheel covers[/url] ($8.96 each) at Walmart for our Vibes. I also bought two 9"x12" pieces of black felt from the Crafts Department of Walmart ($0.23 each). I cut the felt into strips approximately 1"x12" and put them inside the steering wheel cover. These praticular steering wheel covers have rubber inside them that "grips" the steering wheel, so the felt is essentially held in place by the rubber. I put the strips end to end and ended up having enough to do two layers of the strips. The steering wheel cover now fits nice and snug on the steering wheel and does not slide around at all. The felt strips have also made the steering wheel feel a little more cushy then it would with just the steering wheel cover itself. I highly recommend this cheap and easy fix for anyone wanting a snug fitting steering wheel cover for their Vibe !

The steering wheel covers I got for our Vibes say they will fit any steering wheel that is 14.5"-15.5". The 2009-2010 steering wheel measures approximately 14.25".
