Question Horn Activation

Just out of curiosity, have any owners had problems with the horn going off inadvertantly? I've read a couple complaints regarding how easy it is to sound off, when the driver did not intend to use it.

I think it is more because it is so sensitive to the touch and it is big enough where it is easy to hit when you are making a quick and big turn.

.....or, any time at all, really. I keep having to apologize to everyone for making it go off.

"Sorry, didn't mean it......"

Yeah, I've hit the horn a few times inadvertently and had some people look at me like I"m crazy. If the whole center piece was not the horn, then this problem would not persist. However, I'm kind of glad that's the way it is, because if I ever do need to use the horn in a pinch, I won't have a problem setting it off.

Horn

Good to hear that not too many people are having a problem with "premature activation." Your wives must be happy about that!

Doesn't it actually look like A LOT of us are having a problem with premature activation?

But we're an excitable bunch.

I have accidently hit my horn several times especially when adjusting the dash brightness. I don't like to admit I'm wrong so if I set it off and someone looks at me....I just flip 'em of and start screaming incoherant rants.('') Just trying to make new friends.
