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.

A method of manufacturing a horn pad assembly which includes a horn switch subassembly having an electrically conductive support plate adapted for mounting on a steering wheel and an electrically conductive switch plate which is spaced and insulated from the support plate by an insulation gasket and which has a pattern of slots rendering the switch plate sufficiently flexible to engage the support plate responsive to finger pressure, comprising the steps of: enclosing the horn switch subassembly in a sealed bag of heat shrinkable plastic film to mask the pattern of slots in the switch plate, heat shrinking the heat shrinkable plastic film to provide a relatively smooth and taut enclosure, and molding a decorative pad of resilient polymeric material onto the portions of the heat shrunk plastic film covering the switch plate and the sides and underside edges of the support plate.
