Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2006Loose steering wheel material on 1991 Accord?
Hello. The grip material on my steering wheel has come loose from the metal frame. Nothing is visibly wrong, but the grip can be twisted about the metal interior. Is there a process to re- adhere the grip material to the frame? Thanks -Mark > Hello. > > The grip material on my steering wheel has come loose from > the metal frame.

Have you ever actually tried that advice? In my experience, the only thing superglue works on is human skin. Try on a plastic steering wheel and all it is going to do is fill it with a brittle crunchy filling. > Hello. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks > -Mark see other postings for solution. prevention is to avoid excessively oily hands - oil affects the plastic coating over time. avoid burgers and hand lotions. > see other postings for solution. prevention is to avoid excessively oily > hands - oil affects the plastic coating over time. avoid burgers and hand > lotions. There is no apparent deterioration of the material. I think the more likely cause is bright sunlight heating the upper part of the wheel, causing the adhesive to fail. >>see other postings for solution. prevention is to avoid excessively oily >>hands - oil affects the plastic coating over time. avoid burgers and hand [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > likely cause is bright sunlight heating the upper part of the wheel, > causing the adhesive to fail. the wheel is coated in a material that doesn't appear to degrade. however, oils diffuse through it and degrade what's beneath. go to a junk yard - some wheels are completely bloated and swollen they're so bad. and they usually STINK of hand lotion. > the wheel is coated in a material that doesn't appear to degrade. however, > oils diffuse through it and degrade what's beneath. go to a junk yard - > some wheels are completely bloated and swollen they're so bad. and they > usually STINK of hand lotion.
