Mine used to do that on my 2000 firebird. It would go back to normal when it dried!

My horn did that a couple times and fixed itself when it dried out alittle. Then again now my horn is dead for some odd reason. I don't why it's dead but it is and I prolly should fix it soon, lol.

If you replace it make sure you know which it is Low note or High note. Also when you reinstall you can position the the horns facing down so water wont scoop into them
