PLEASE POST
HELP with repair of wood on dash-500SEC. I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times before but it is a new problem to me.Any help appreciated. What is the best glue to use to re-attach the beautiful wood trim on dash. Any other tricks that someone might share would be very helpful. I'm restoring the car and its the only problem I have with the interior. Thank you very much. Mel

>It has an adjustment? I don't have free play (the tiniest turn of the steering wheel slightly turns the wheels), but the first little turn in each direction is more loose than the rest (i.e. there is a little play where the steering isn't tight, but it is effective). I understand that this is the norm, but I'd like to get rid of it if there is an adjustment.
