Default Horn Pad Loose... Fixable?

Hey guys, I need a little help. The horn pad on my steering wheel is loose. 2 of 3 plastics clips that hold the pad snugly are broken. Not sure on the correct terminology for the part but I think you all know what I mean. The part is attached to the steering wheel and had a brass hex head in the midle. Are there repalcements for these? Part number? I was thinking I had to replace the whole steering wheel... Any help appreciated.

Year? What's broken, the pad or a part that's attached to the wheel?

If you have the early, 3 spoke steering wheel, I've Been there, done that. These plastic parts become brittle with age and fall apart. You can order the plastic clips from the dealer. Pull the horn pad off, undo the screws and fit the new clips on.

If you have a 4 spoke, it's probably the same concept, but different parts.

Phil- I need one of those deals, too. Sometimes my horn button pops off and I have to fiddle with the broken piece to get it to stay on. I checked on PET and I am still not sure what the correct part number is. It may be 321 419 779 A, but I'm not positive. Anybody know for sure?
thanks.

My steering wheel is not the 3 spoke. It is the one with the rectangular horn pad. The parts that are broken are attached to the steering wheel. I appreciatte the info guys.. I'll try the dealer tomorrow with that part# Ben and see what I come up with..
