The steering wheel of the Chevy Malibu is 15 inches in diameter. Any cover labeled as having a "universal fit" or one designed for steering wheels measuring 14.5-15.5 inches will work for the Malibu. When replacing the original wheel with an aftermarket one, it is important to first disconnect the battery. The new wheel will come with detailed installation instructions. To ensure proper alignment, park the vehicle on a flat surface with the wheels straightened. Remove the Malibu's horn, and take note of the previous wheel's height and positioning for the new installation. The average cost for a professional replacement of the Malibu's steering wheel is between $400 and $415 for parts and labor, while a cover typically costs between $10 and $25.
A steering wheel cover designed for the 2019 Chevy Malibu has a grip circumference of 4 3/8 inches and an outer diameter of 14.5 inches.
