I went to Advanced Auto and bought a $5 can of Elmer's spray glue...pulled up the dried out area and spray some glue under the material genorously. After that it's a matter of stretching and pressing the material back into place. Gotta have a little patience cuz it takes a little time for the glue to dry. I used a flexible ruler to smooth out the wrinkles, it's not perfect but it's 100% better than what it was. Have fun guyz.

I did that too, still have wrinkles, but it's much better than it was.

I used a fabric glue from Michael's arts and crafts store. Only 88 cents

it's going to wrinkle back up. what you need to do is use something heavy like a sandbag. the local upholstery shop uses bags of leadshot for 24 hours. hopefully it stays, tho.

I have that same problem, only the ripple is behind the steering wheel and close to the windshield...How would I get to that? If I have to take off the cover how do i do that? I have a haynes manual but thats as vague as can be..

That's where they all do it at.

I just have to re-fix mine and it still looks like crap. I'm just going to put out the $300 to get it fixed professionally :cry:
