Abstract
A horn pad assembly having a large irregularly shaped horn switch subassembly is made by enclosing the horn switch subassembly in a sealed bag of heat shrinkable plastic film to mask the slots and holes in the subassembly, heat shrinking the heat shrinkable plastic film to provide a relatively smooth and taut enclosure, and molding a decorative pad of resilient plastic material onto the portions of the heat shrunk plastic film covering the top sides and underside edges of the horn switch subassembly.
