Horn did not work and pulled horn switch covers. The plastic nub that presses on the copper switch was worn down, such that the switch would not toggle to the closed position. Epoxied a small brass nut over the old plastic nub to reduce the free clearance between the horn pressure plastic push button. Is working fine now. Is there a way to buy the new part if needed to replace the horn switch or is it only available from Volvo.

Anyone have a similar successful solution?

I use a spot of epoxy and then sand it down to the correct height.
