Default steering wheel centerpiece

My centerpiece on my factory steering whell has come unglued. aparently all the humidity in the air is killing the glue on my 81s interior. carpet coming off its backboard, and now the center of my steering whell has come off. i originally thought about just buying a new wheel, but they are pretty expensive so i guess im gonna just have to glue it back on. any reccomendations to what kind of glue or adhesive i should use?

In the past (dont laugh!) when I was in high school I pulled a bubba and used superglue on a lot of interior pieces on a 77 Trans Am and had great luck with it.

Tony Sinclair stay away! lol

hahaha actually that was my first idea was to buy some super duper glue and just re-attach it. But I guess I am just going to have to get it done professionally...The carpet, not the steering wheel. It was glued on once. So it can, AND WILL, be glued on again!

Contact cement will work on the carpet and the emblem.
