Hi All

I was in contact with royal steering about re trimming my steering wheel.
There is a common fault in these that they generally can’t repair and that being with the plastic back plate lifting . Has anyone come across this and how have you fixed it?
I have included pictures.

Thanks Denis

You could try a heating it up with a heat gun or hair dryer, then put something on it for good few hours to keep it down or tape it ! so it lines back up with airbag. It might form back to original shape. Its common ..sun damage..

could you not just get another part from a breaker? Given you never see them listed for sale I'm sure it would only be a few quid
