Lightbulb What type of glue to use ?

The Rubber around my steering wheel has come unstuck from the rim and twists in you hands when driving. I was thinking of injecting some glue into the back of the rim to try and fix it, now i know some glues dont react very well with rubber and melt the rubber any of you guys know what to use maybe a expoxy resin like araildite ?

disconnect the battery, leave it for half an hour or so to make sure there is no residual charge and then it shold be fairly inert. Just be gentle with it and you should be fine.
From memory there are 4 star shape screws around the side of the wheel, undo these and you sould be able to lift the airbag part out, i can't remember but i assume there is a plug that you disconnect and then the unit can be placed out of the way giving you the chance to get nasty with the steering wheel

it's been about 2 years since i took mine out but someone on here should be able to help with any other questions
