Peeling rubber coating on steering wheel

So my wife brought to my attention yesterday that the rubber type coating on the lower spoke of the steering wheel is peeling off. Under the coating is black plastic. If it peels all the way off, I don't think it would be a really big deal though. My guess is just the high heat (105*+) ambient outside temps with 5-10% humidity causing the adhesive to fail. No telling what the interior temps actually are. I'll get some pics tomorrow and post them up.
