I love the black leather Dino steering wheel that is on my 944 S.
I want to put it on my 914. So I got a tan Dino steering wheel to go in my 944 S that has a tan interior. One problem - I can find no solvent to remove the adhesive from the new tan steering wheel. It had clear plastic protecting the chrome which pulled off easily. But I can find no solvent to dissolve the adhesive that held the clear plastic on. I have tried gasoline, strong carb cleaner, brake cleaner, acetone, lacquer thinner, WD-40, Seafoam, and even Super Glue Remover. I can't take the nice wheel out of the 944 S until the new one can go in. HELP. Looking for advice on a solvent that will dissolve this adhesive. Pics below - many thanks to all suggestions.
