Mouse fur getting destroyed on my CS steering wheel... solutions?

jmg · 03-15-2021, 06:35 PM

Despite all my efforts to preserve the alcantera on my CS steering wheel, it's starting to rip at the 12 o'clock perforations. Car isn't my daily, and I wear gloves for track use, but it still managed to rip with 2-3 track days a month.

I'm thinking I should glue it down so it doesn't get worse. Any recommendations for what type of glue to use?

I would use some type of flexible glue. fabric adhesive would be the safest bet. You would probably have to spray the adhesive on a blank sheet and scoop it up with a toothpick for precise application.

Apply some on the back of the alcantara and also the surface it covers. Let it dry for a minute and then stick together. Unfortunately, once its ripped, it will be much easier to break apart again...
