I posted this in Interiors, but haven't had any response. I have a 69 Chevelle, tilt wheel, tilt hub for sport wheel, 3 spoke repop sport wheel. I have checked the forums, the assembly manual and the service manual and I do not know why the horn cap snaps into place, but it doesn't go down uniformly when you honk the horn. The cap tilts to whatever side you press on, and can come off easily. When I press it in the middle, it appears to work OK, but is very sensitive (light tap will sound it). Horn contact is cut to 3/4 inch according to GM contact kit instructions. What did I do wrong? I would imagine that they are a lot more robust than that. Am I wrong? Any help is appreciated. T:(hank you.

Isn't the TRIM PARTS horn button a repop?:D

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the input. I should have mentioned that I have two horn buttons, an SS one (Ground Up) and the bowtie (NPD)--both have the same problem. If you still think TrimParts will solve it, I'll give it a try.

I went to Ace hardware and bought three small nylon flat washers and spaced the assembly up Now the horn works and it's not as sensitive.
