Steering wheel - surface flaw

[finneylp]

There is an injection molding spot on my steering wheel which feels like a gouge in the material. Honda assures me it is just from how it was made and there is nothing they can do. Wondering if anyone has had success getting it fixed.

The spot is on the top back (ie 12 o'clock on the engine side), right where your fingers rest when steering from the top of the wheel. It is very small, but I worry it might get bigger when exposed to sun and rubbing from hands.

We did compare to a new EX on the lot, it also has the spot

My EX-T has that spot as well. I noticed it immediately the first time I drove it. I haven't had a chance to really look closely at it though, or find a way to maybe fix it.

I'm also interested to see if anyone has been able to effectively fix it.

My EX has two such spots, essentially at the 10 and 2 positions but I only notice it on the latter.
