It must have been done the day it rolled out of the showroom. It is on there to stay. It won't peel off it just breaks off in tiny slivers. Does anybody know a good way to get that stuff off??? thanks mitchell

Next to that, I would test a solvent like alchohol, to see if it melts the steering wheel rubber/plastic. If not I think that it would work. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 709 | Try WD-40 or something such to reactivate the adhesive that has dried. I would be very cautious using toooo much heat if at all or you will end up with one goooey mess.

will be able to get it off. You might consider
useing one of the steering wheel wraps from
your local parts house. If thats not going to
look like an option, start priceing a new
steering wheel. Maybe there not that much.
