I read this thread in hopes of finding a solution to find only na-sayers. I am happy to report that: Yes, there is a fix to this problem !! I will preface this with the comment that my existing 16 year old VX steering wheel was as bad as they come. I was commited to buying a replacement but found the search for one difficult.

Figuring there was no possible way to screw this steering wheel up any more than it already was I went about a fix. Gorilla Glue, an 1/8" drill bit, some electrical tape fixed it back to a like new grip.

Remove the steering wheel (covered elsewhere), drill holes into the back side of the wheel that faces the cluster (out of site) spaced about every 3" or so. I did this around the top half of the wheel where it was loose, about six small holes Worked some water to into the holes as called for by Gorella Glue. Stuffed the tip of the Gorilla Glue into the hole and forced an appropriate amount of glue in each hole, wiped any excess with "Goof-off" solvent. (don't go overboard with shooting too much glue into each hole). I quickly wrapped the hole with electrical tape to seal the hole while the glue set. Twist the grip around to work the glue into the grip and spread it out. Let it sit over night.

Success in the morning, oh yeah!! The wheel was solid now, I removed the tape, the little holes are undetectible and the glue locked up the grip like new. There are no buldges or irregularities.

Ask yourself "what do I have to loose"? Answer: Not much. I'm damn near certain that you'll come out smiling at the end for this $5 solution to a common vexxing problem !

This will work
