Slip On Steering Wheel Cover Quest

Slip On Steering Wheel Cover Quest
Has anyone found a "Slip-On" Steering Wheel cover that will fit on the F150's steering wheel? I notice that my 2010 F150 steering wheel is about 1/4 of inch wider than standard automobile steering wheels but have yet to find a brand cover that will pull over that bad boy. If anyone has found one that has the resilence to stretch over it please post the brand and model. I have already tried a few and no joy, even soaking them in hot water etc. They all seem to have that warning labeled "Fits Most"
I have seen the Wheel Skins but I am not interested in sewing leather covers on to my steering wheel or lacing. I want a "slip on" that I can pull on and off when I want to clean it thoroughly which is not feasible with a sew/lace on.

I bought one last week, I don't know the brand, but it was the standard model hanging on a rack at the truck accessories store. It was VERY hard to install. I could not do it by myself, and I'm a big guy. I asked the guy from the store for help, and we fought it for about 5 minutes and it finally went on. Don't think it will slip around on me any, LOL.
If I had to do it again, I would spray it with a little soapy water first to make it easier.

The measurement specs on the page looks like they fit the measurements on our 2010 if IIRC. I would just double check to make sure.
Hope this helps some.

HUGE TIP. Before you go to put the cover on let it sit out on the sun a hour or 2 before you put it on. I put a new one on and let sit out on my dash at school, went out popped it right on.

I wouldn't recommend a rubber lined cover. I had one on my last vehicle and rubber ruined the leather. Turned it black and left an imprint. I really like my current leather wrapped wheel; very comfortable.

I grabbed one of the larger one off the shelf at Walmart.
Was a PITA to get on, but it sits secure (No slippage).
Ultimately did what a few others suggested. I set it out in direct sunlight for about an hour to make it a bit more pliable the sprayed a bit of water on the steering wheel to help 'slip' it on.
Still took a bunch of pulling and stretching.

Yipe!
Thanks for the warning. Did not consider dis-similar material reactions. Makes me want to re-think my steering wheel project.

Funny you bring this up. I got mine on and it literally was one of the hardest things i have ever done. My forearms and shoulders were done. It felt like I had just lifted weights. I am a good sized dude who works out. I even had to use a pry bar to get the last bit on. It looks good now but when it cones off it will have to be cut off.
