Default Mini Beast Rattles Like Crazy

I bought a mini beast 2 horn at Daytona Bike Week back in March. The horn's been working fine but the darn thing rattles like bolts in an empty coffee can.....its beginning to drive me crazy!

I called Pro Pad and they said that the horn mechanism is probably hitting the inside of the chrome cover. Their suggestion was to bend it back a bit so it doesn't hit the horn or to put foam tape inside the cover. Not wild about either of these suggestions - you would think with what they charge for one of these the tolerances would account for the vibration. Has anyone had this issue and if so, how did you correct it?

Thanks!

Yep, mine was rattling. Took it off and found a screw had fallen out allowing the inside components to move back and forth hitting the cover. Replaced the screw and put hot glue on these little plastic spacers and the end of the screws. Hasn't been a problem since and that was two years ago,
