Shrink-on plastic sleeve that is found on the lower part of the collapsible steering columns. Used sleeves are often ripped and torn. Simply cut off your old sleeve and install this item to give your column a newer look and feel.
Installation: Make sure that your column is clean. Lube the column and inside of the sleeve. Do not remove the crease on the plastic, you need it to help you put the sleeve on the tube. Push the sleeve on as far as you can. Gently tap the sleeve down on a table top letting the column tube slide down inside. When you can't go any further, you'll need to find something with a hole in it just big enough to slide over the tube, but small enough to butt up against the folds of the sleeve and gently tap the sleeve down until you have it in place. Once it's in the right position, set your heat gun to high. Start at one end, turn the tube as you apply heat and shrink that section into place. Then move to the next ring. We found it best to turn the tube into the heat of the gun, the gun being off center to preheat the shrinkage. If in doubt, contact us.
