EK9 steering wheel reconditioning?
Hey guys,
I just bought a EK9 SRS steering wheel, but the punk on Ebay neglected to say that the adhesive (at the 9 and 3 o clock position, just right above those two spokes, if you were to hold the wheel at those positions, its where your thumbs would end up) was coming apart. I don't have any pictures and its hard to visualize what I'm saying, but anyway, I was wondering if you guys know any places that can recondition the steering wheel, or at least fix this somewhat. I was thinking of supergluing it back together, but I rather not ruin the wheel or mess it up any further. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

actually, I didn't even notice it until my sister pointed it out to me. Its very minor, its not like the wheel is not usable, and it looks good minus those two spots, its just if you SEE IT, it looks annoying. I'll try and get pics up tom and see what other suggestions I get, thanks so far.

The guy is pissed that I'm leaving him negative feedback -_-
Iono, I don't think I'm being out of line, I mean those two defects should have been mentioned, he took pics of it at a straight up 90 angle, so there was no way I could have seen those two defects on the wheel...thats shady selling practices...I hate ppl like that >]

Yea it was paypa, over ebaymotors,

Honestly, I don't MIND keeping it, it is overall a clean wheel minus those two problem areas...its just its not kewl when ppl do that kinda biz if you know what I mean. Just be honest, right? At this point, I'm kewl with keeping the wheel, I was just more curious about what kind of adhesive I should use to glue the left part back, I got gorilla as a brand. The other issue is, if you look at the pic, its missing a chunk on the right spoke, what can I use to fill that in?
