My 38 super 8 is pretty loose; I can honk the horn while I turn right with the steering wheel and it pops off.

I ask a simple sincere question and you seem to think your stupid response is cute. If you can explain it why dont you try to do so instead of telling me you cant understand it for me. That is if you are smart enough to give a straight answer.

I was not trying to be a smart@$$, just trying to explain how easy my horn button pops off. There's hardly any effort necessary.
Im sorry if you felt I didn't take you serious, but it's an honest answer. My 38 is in town for a paint job otherwise I would take it apart and send you a picture.

Someone with a 38 can better answer if the piece in question is present but the poor quality cutaway drawing in parts manual looks as if there might be one of the sponge rubber cushions under the button like is used on some of the postwar emblems which push down and rotate to release. That sponge rubber is supposed to put a bit of pressure on the button so it is forced back against the locking tabs and can't rotate or rattle.
On postwar at least that sponge rubber can deteriorate and almost turn into a gooey glue like mass. There is supposed to be a piece of heavy waxed paper between the sponge rubber and emblem but sometimes that has disappeared over the years. If that is the case and the sponge rubber has melted it can effectively glue the button so it can't push down or rotate. Any chance that is a possibility?

Good Evening...I have a 23 series and when I want to remove the plastic horn button I put two big pieces of duct tape on the horn button and pull to the left, and then I can turn it in a counter clockwise direction. If the horn button rotates then you can pull it out with the same tape that you used to make it rotate. Ernie, Care Taker of 'Miss Prudence'.
