My horn was not working due to the contact ring being worn through to the plastic where the wheel is on center. I had an old Corrado steering wheel that donated it's contact ring to the Vanagon. I had to do some slight modification to make it work, and it only took a few minutes and was easy.

Just in case you need to get inventive...

So in the midst of tearing everything apart to replace my front heater blower (success!!!) I somehow got things a little wonky when I put the steering wheel back on and that contact ring snagged on the little tab and it tore the ring at the bottom. That's no good.

It there any way to replace that or am I kinda SOL?
