Silicone caulk will hold that button. 'Course, it'll still spark in the dark.

Ok these people are just bagging on grant.

I have had the same grant wheel except the wood look for 5 plus years and have never had any problems with the wheel falling off, the horn button popping off, the horn randomly going off, etc etc.

Although I do hate my gt grant horn button I think i'll order a cool one like that

Hey DJ, do you have any interior pics? I'm going to paint my 67FB black and I am looking for ideas. I think I'm going to go black interior with the deluxe upgrade. I would like to see what your car has.

Standard w/ black interior? I like it. Wouldn't mind a pic of the console if you can get one. Don't spend too much time on it though. Thanks!

ok let me just tell everyone my opinions on the installation of this wheel.

this wheel and horn button mounted differently than the previous one i had on there. wow what a difference. i agree the smaller 3 bolt design was terrible and it was very easy for the horn to pop off. but this one used a different style pressure fit system to attached the horn and not only attach it but alot less parts to mess with as well. i have pics of it if anyone needs to see what im talking about.

overall im very happy with this new style wheel i bought.

+1 I had trouble popping my horn button back in once I got it out.

Glad you like the wheel I really am loving that horn button.
