Default A/C....I has a problem.

My em1's previous owner stuck one of these on the steering wheel with super glue or epoxy or some ****:



How should I get this off without ruining the steering wheel?

I'd say you'd be hard pressed to get it off without absolutely destroying the emblem/wheel material underneath. It will never look like stock again. There are solvents that can break up epoxies and super glue, but those harsh chemicals can do a number on vinyl/leather.

Does the emblem on there really look that bad?

3m adhesive remover or blow it up and buy someone elses air bag.
or you could ditch the stock set up for a diff steering wheel.

if ur really gonna try to salvage the stock wheel id try hot water on a towel and just try to rub of pick it off with a thumb or fingernail...any kind of adhesive remover will more then likely destroy the surface texture and cause blemishing...you best bet is get a new wheel if u dont have the funds for aftermarket just pick up a used stock one...shouldnt be that much


to the idiots that ruin the cars we love and take pride in
