This was the easiest DIY...I didn't even finish my beer. I had my battery disconnected four couple of hours. No airbags warning lights.
I read about more cost effective fixes (i.e. just sticking something in between), but I got the frame for 65 bux from porsche, since this should fix it for next 15-20 years.
Out of the four rubber rings, the top left was the most worn out and probably causing the horn to go off. Left bottom was showing a bit of wear, but the right ones are ok. I wonder if it has to do with heat from the window when car is parked in the sun.

Agreed- my car shipped with a bag basket last November- fixed it in 30 minutes! I love this forum- just did the sunroof seals following the tutorial on this site last weekend- very happy with the results!!

Bruce 7. Great thread and wonderful informative pics. FYI, do not try this without the proper T30 Torx screwdriver or long Torx bit. I had the proper size Torx bit but it was too large and short to fit in the holes in the back of the steering wheel. Borrowed a T30 Torx screw driver from a friend, & used a chaanel loc for torque to remove bolts.

I found a T30 torx bit at NAPA, about 4" long w/ a 3/8th socket drive on the other end. It was about $10 and delievered to the store in one day. That allowed me to do the job without needing to screw around with the ignition switch and turning the steering wheel.
