I noticed that one of the button wasn't soft enough so I decided to open and check it.
luckily there wasn't any thing. it was just a stuck clip

see new one has a chrome ring around the buttons

then, i connected the battery terminal and checked.
Alhamdulillah, every thing is fine.

several people asked me from where did i source this steering.
so the answer is Saudia. Leather steering in Saudia comes in the top of the line variant only.
it was very hard to find clear OEM leather stitched 9th gen steering wheel.
it took some time but finally, Alhamdulillah I got it.

The feeling of holding this steering is really awesome and looks classy and gives genuine feel.

Takes lot of patience. Glad that you finally have it in your Civic. Yes the leather wheel looks better.

[Spano]

@fouadbakht yes bhai, i am really happy to get it.
I had been waiting for it since month

Stunning work.
Indeed the steering looks premium. Hats off to your hard work.
My car is still stock after 4.5 years. Just changed tyres nothing else.
Have you anything to get rid of terrible road/wind noise?

[Spano]

my car is very quiet. I have no issue with wind/air noise even on high speeds like above 150 km/hr

do you have Honda utility package waley air press

Car Allignment

I feel that the steering is not straight after installing new steering. The error is about 5 degree and its clockwise.

I will be doing another DIY to straightened the steering wheel.
to do that, all we need is two nut wrench

14mm and 19mm

14mm will be used for adjustment
19mm will be used for the lock nut

here is few pictures of my tools
.

[Spano]

nut wrench/spanner that I will be using for this job

just talked to an alignment technician. I told him the error in the steering.
its about 5 degree.

he told me that i need quarter turn on each side to counter this error in steering.
