[Roadsters] Steering Wheel

High windscreen model horn buttons twist off with a slight push in and 
then twist one way or the other. I do not remember which way to twist 
off as I always have to look at a loose horn button to remind myself. BE 
CAREFUL removing the horn button if a late model car: I can disintigrate 
underneath if twisted incorrectly or too hard.
