Does this smell funny? A lot of other steering wheel covers I've looked at says it smells weird

I haven't had an issue of it smelling funny out of the box. I can see it happening over time if you've got sweaty hands because the material is spongy.

There is no smell from this steering wheel cover. I have one for each car and love it.

Yes it has a smell but if you leave it for 1-2 days outside in your garage before you install it the car the smell will be gone.

Yes it does have a funky smell- I sprayed it with fabreeze and it helped a lot.

I haven't noticed any smell, I'm happy with it. I didn't remove the adhesive though, as I found it doesn't move around until I want it to.

Smell? I have not noticed any funny smells. It is a very stretch case and works well for me.

I have never found the smell to be offensive. No more than most new products made of synthetic material. I have tinted windows at the rear of a CRV so the sun has probably had less effect, if that is actually the problem. I have always thought the organizer to be a great product.

Sorry I don't have allergies regarding this type of material. It did keep my steering wheel comfortably cool during the blazing summer when my vehicle baked.

From what I remember this did not have that nasty bad chemical smell that most steering wheel covers have. In fact many products made in China have that same crappy chemical smell. This didn't.

I don't notice a bad smell either. Sorry I am not much help either. I guess I am used to the smell and it goes away pretty quick after you put it on.

How weird. Mine smells kinda like leather. Maybe you should return it if it doesn't clear up.

The cover is a nylon material that is stretchy. That padding feels like there's gel inside. Smell. Nothing gross. Does have a slight silicon smell (I assume from the gel inside of it). Been in our SUV for months now.... no weird smells or fading. Wife loves it.

it does have a weird smell but it isn't very strong. I just took a whiff so it seems okay to me.

Yes. The cover feels like a hand warmer under direct sunlight, it makes driving in the hot summer much more tolerable, that is if you can stand the rubber smell this cover (might) give off.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

I did have a funny odor...something like oil or plastic when I first got this fan. The smell is gone now...took about a week of use to subside. The longer you leave it on the faster it will dissipate. I only used it at night, and then only on occasion because it is still so cold in NY.....Keep running it and it will go away soon!!!

Mine may have had a little smell to it when first opened but it was only briefly. I put it in my car in the summer (southern state) and it did not smell anymore nor did it transfer any smell to my car.

Hi Mary, my wife says it doesn't smell. It looks nice to me. Neal - Making Your Mark

You won't notice any real smell. spray, let it sit, wipe it off and leave the windows down so it can air out. Even if you clean it and then go for a ride, as long as you keep the windows down to let it air out, the smell does not stay long. I rarely notice it myself

Hi, the one I bought has the same smell. I think that's normal. It does not bother me.
