The padding or grip on the steering wheel is loose on the frame inside of it. It's really only from about 10 to 2, not coincidently I'm sure. I was wondering if anyone had found a good fix for this. Was thinking of trying to inject some sort of adhesive.... The cover is in other wise good condition, And the steering wheel is original to the car so I'd rather not just replace it . Any ideas, advice or experience would be appreciated .
Thanks,
Jeff

Re: Steering wheel padding/grip loose on frame
I put a Wheelskin leather cover over mine and love it. Looks like a factory finish and I love the feel over the original. You can get it at most retail auto parts stores but you need the correct diameter for best finish. It's been several years so I don't remember what size it was.
