    Steering Wheel repair idea?

    On my Disco the Steering Wheel rubber has become separated from the internal steel rim.
    When you are steering you can feel the rubber has become loose on the top half of the wheel.
    I don't know if this is common or not in Disco's but I thought I have worked out a way of fixing it.

    My idea is to drill 2 or 3 3/16ths holes as far under and toward the dash of the steering wheel as possible and then try and fill the internal space with sikaflex.

    Do any of you know a better way or do you think that my method will work??

    Superglue through a needle. I think you can actually buy a kit that does it.
