Inside of steering wheel leather separating, any easy way to fix?

I'm noticing that the inside of my steering wheel is starting to separate on the inside where it is glued. I'm assuming this is due to the car sitting in sun.




Is there any way to fix this? Preferably easy

I know I could help the problem by using a window shade, but I want to fix it!!!

I used super glue to keep it from getting worse. This was after the first year the car was made btw.

I'd like to have mine recovered in suede. Has anyone found a reputable shop that actually fully re-covers the steering wheel and doesn't just slap on some thing they found on the Internet?

I'm going to try that over the weekend. Did it come out decent? Did it stop the damage from getting worse?

Did you do all the stitching yourself or did you send it off to them? As simple as it sounds I don't know if I trust myself to make it nice and tight...

Same. I've seen some of those covers shred apart in less than a year. I'm talking about a professional wrap.

Yes the separating stayed the same for years.
