Need help with the Grant GT stearing wheel!

My father and I have been trying to but the button for the horn in and we can not find a way to turn it so it locks in. We got it to stay one time but it popped back out when we put a little force on it. I know a lot of poeple have this wheel please help me.

Use the stock horn wire, not the one that comes with the kit

Which wheel is it? If it's a Challenger series (has a large metal horn button) junk it and get a decent wheel; it's Grant's el-cheapo wheel. If it's a small plastic horn button like on Signature series wheels, it should have a metal clip that you slide in first, and plastic tabs on the other side that snap the button in the rest of the way.

Sorry I can't help, mine just snaps in place. I would look behind it and make sure nothing it keeping it from seating correctly like the horn wire tabs.

i happen to like my challenger, the signature series is ugly IMO.

the horn button is easy once you get the hang of it. There are threee little grooves on the wheel and three humbs on the cap. Make sure they are lined up and turn. i used a precise flathead and stuck it in the side of the wheel to help guide it, there are holes on the side on the wheel by each groove. Hope this helps.

I didn't mean to get a Signature series (I think they're ugly, too). I just used it as an example. The plastic button used on them, and the wheels on BitchinCamaro's and Zephyr's cars (Corsa, GT, Formula GTs, etc.) are much better designed than the metal buttons on the Challenger wheels. Like he said, they just snap in place.
