The 90-91 horn button is not unique to Reattas, they were used on Riviera, Olds, and other full size Buicks.
Some colors are still available new.

Also the fishing line fix was an interim fix until they changed the mold. Later designs had two additional hooks that greatly reduced the likelihood of the buttons coming out.

Sometimes you can salvage a broken one by doing the fishing line....here is a sketch.

Disconnect the battery first so you do not accidentally trip the air bag.

Going from memory there are 2 screws, (maybe four), in the bottom side of the wheel. Remove those T-30 Torx bit screws , (a 1/4" drive stubby rachet will make the job easier), and the center part of the wheel comes off exposing the horn buttons and the air bag. Then remove the 2 screws holding the horn buttons on either side of the air bag. I remember something about a spring clip, but you will see what you have to do when the cover is off the wheel.
