Hello folks... I’ve had to replace my horn push as the old one broke on removal. It seems at some point it had been glued in (hence the breaking). My understanding is that this is meant to be a friction fit?
Anyway, my new one is very loose (I guess this is why someone used glue in the past ) and it pops back out with the resistance of the insulator spring beneath it.
Any ideas what’s happened? I can’t imagine the steering wheel hole has got bigger

Re: Steering wheel horn push...
There should be 2 'U' shaped metal clips pushed onto the bottom of the horn push.
They each have exterior metal teeth that grip the inside of the steering wheel when you push the horn push in.
The clips are available from ESM. Search horn push retaining clip, part number HRN105C.

Re: Steering wheel horn push...
The correct/original clip - If your car has the later 2 spoke steering wheel - is this, with the barbs on just one side.

Re: Steering wheel horn push...
I’m an idiot
I took a proper look in the envelope and there were two little clips (the type you’ve all linked to) in the bag that my horn push came in from ESM. I didn’t even think to look before you mentioned them.
However, the ‘e clip’ that’s on the end of the horn wire bullet found it’s way down the crack at the back of the passenger seat never to be seen again
Thanks guys!
