Richard S Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 I caught the left side horn button on my 90 and it is hanging out farther and more loosely than the other side. I think the plastic prongs broke, and I am not sure what is still holding it in. Can it be fixed? Anyone have a tan replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 The replacement number is 16750752.<BR>GM had an intermediate fix using fishing line. I made a sketch that duplicates their fix and I can send it to you if you request it. <BR>Anything you do will require removing the airbag to get to the button. GM has lots of warnings but it's all common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jadesdrift90 Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 I did this on my 90 just a few months ago...not very hard...do a search here or go to the reatta site for instructions (I forget which one)...they are great!<P>Jade<P>P.S. My torx screwdriver bit turned out to be different than the instructions. So you might want to be prepared. Mine turned out to be a #35.<P>P.S.S. The horn button cost $22.00 each...both of mine were broke.<p>[ 10-19-2001: Message edited by: jadesdrift90 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Go get a new button at the Buick garage and replace it. I glued my post and finally glued the whole thing together but then I could not use it. When I got discusted with the mess.... I replaced it for about $20 and wondered why I didn't do it sooner. The replacement button is different with modifications that improve it. They knew it was a cheap button assembly as originaly designed!

2reattas Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 Just took mine out a couple a weeks ago, there appears to be fishing line that holds the switch together( from being over extended)maybe just the line is broke. ordered one from gmpartsdirect $22.51 w/shipping. Sent wheel to american-stitches and they lost my horn button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard S Posted October 21, 2001 Author Share Posted October 21, 2001 Want to thank all for the replies. Just a reminder. Thanks to Barney for supplying the part #, which allowed me to check gmpartsdirect.com. The buttons sell for $12 each + shipping [but no state sales tax . . .yet].
