Steering wheel glue

[krekelly]

I’ve got a 2013 GMC Yukon. The steering wheel has a fake wood trim piece. The trim pieces recently in falling off due to glue melting. Anybody has a good suggestion on how to prevent that? Specifically hot temperatures of 100° or hotter cause it to melt.

I just did mine. I used a gel based ( so it wouldn’t run) super glue, that said leather and plastic in its bonding specs.

I only did it a few months ago but I cannot pull the trim off so it seems to be stuck pretty well.

original Gorilla glue works I glued mine like 5 years ago, hasn't budged since, the glue is not affected by heat. cold, wet or anything.
take of the ring, clean it up on both sides as much as possible, apply a thin layer of original gorilla glue to either side.
then attach and let it dry 24 hours.
I used zip ties to hold it on, I just put them every couple inches
beware gorilla glue expands so only use a little bit.
after it has sat a few hours go out and wipe any excess off with a soft cloth, it cleans off easily
then after the 24 hours, take the zip ties or whatever you use off and then you can clean the edges with a tooth pick or similar non marring tool
I tried other things before the gorilla glue, none worked.

Only "wood" spokes on a leather wheel.

I did mine a few years ago now in the tx sun. so far it hasn't moved. I used Gorilla glue too but the epoxy mix they sell under their name. I've had good luck with it on just about everything.
