ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel mounted air bag cover door (10) includes a horn switch (20) disposed on its outside surface (16) for actuating a vehicle horn (40) in response to the application of a predetermined horn actuating force to the cover door. The horn switch (20) is spaced apart laterally from the tear seam (18) on the cover door (10). A cover band (22) extends over and conceals the horn switch (20), the cover band also being spaced apart laterally from the tear seam (18). The cover band (22) includes a removable attachment feature (26) whereby the cover band may be removed easily from the cover door (10) to replace the horn switch (20). An adjustment feature (28) enables one to adjust the distance between the cover band (22) and the cover door (10) to prevent pinching of the horn switch (20).
