Got it! Sorry, I've been out of town. It works great. I also added a little glue to fatten-up the "legs" and let it dry before pushing it into the socket. It fits tighter and doesn't pop out. Thanks again for your help! -Erik

Erik,

Glad it worked for you

Anyone out there have a right side button? Seems like a popular failure.

Does anyone happen to have the left horn button for a 2004 Disco II? Or maybe know where I can purchase just the buttons? Thanks! Frank

i need to get a right side button. so far, they have been my disco's weakest link. they break at least once a year.

I might replace mine ( the left one sometimes when wheeling if I hit the steering hard . try to come loose ), I know you can heat the legs and they will open and lock in place.

Anyhow, I might have the time this week to swap mine, then they will be available.

Good idea about heating up the legs.

I've been thinking about sewing a piece of fabrique over the buttons to keep them in place.

1. Bad design.
2. Bad service for not selling the problematic buttons individually. Should have been a recalled item, as annoying as they are.

would you cover the whole inner portion of the steering wheel with fabric? If you got an idea or a plan layout as to how the fabric would fit, i might give that a shot... i'm not too shabby with a sewing machine, i made a cargo liner for the back part of my D2.

Sorry, on holiday since, and still am.

Will post the pic once I come back and have it done.
