Key Features

Material & Build Quality

The OMP Horn Button combines lightweight yet robust materials. The outer shell is molded from ABS plastic, known for its impact resistance and heat tolerance. Inside, a metal core provides structural integrity, preventing deformation during repeated use. This hybrid construction ensures the button remains firm and responsive over time.

Installation Process

1. Remove Existing Button: If your steering wheel already has a horn button or center cap, carefully detach it using a flat‑head screwdriver or a dedicated removal tool.
2. Align the OMP Horn Button: Position the new button so that its central hole aligns with the steering wheel’s mounting point. The button is designed to fit snugly without any gaps.
3. Secure in Place: Press firmly until you feel a click, indicating the button has locked into place. No additional fasteners are required.
4. Test Functionality: Activate the horn by pressing the button; you should hear an immediate, clear tone.

Maintenance Tips

Keeping the horn button in optimal condition is straightforward:

• Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic.
