Abstract
The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus for a steering wheel pad of a motorcar. The pad is adapted to be detachably mounted on a lower cover member by cooperating snap members and retainer members. The engagement of the pad is ensured during the mounting operation so that the pad may be easily slid into position. The necessity of a connector connection of the horn switch before the engagement of the pad is not present since the horn button is positioned to engage a fixed contact on the retainer. The engagement and disengagement of the pad are simplified and a more accurate and positive mounting operation may be effected.
