Default Steering wheel unbonded

At top of steering wheel, the cushion part of the wheelhas come loose from the core of the wheel. This gives the creepy feeling of the wheel grip "rolling" in your hand. This car is new to me & I assume its from the sun. A new Honda wheel on line is $350. Anyone know of a DIY fix? thanks

You should be able to find a used part for < $100. See car-part.com and search for items near you to view before purchase. Check ebay for some aftermarket wheels or repair kits.

good luck

Iused to deal with those from the used car dept. Feels really weird in your hand, all mushy like. Bleah
This method works but you have to work fast.
Go to the local farmers coop get a syringe with a 'calf' needle [large bore]
Maybe 2 of em.
Then stop by the parts store and get a tube of 3M trim adhesive.
With the needle off of the syringe, pull the syringe plunger and suck the adhesive out of the tube, slap the needle on and stick it thru the back of the steering wheel padding, until you feel it hit solid steel;shove in a little glue and move about 1/2 inch and repeat.
