Center Wheel Caps popping off?!?!

not even a full two days and I lose a center capon my rear wheel rim...went and lightly tugged on another and it pulled right off! Looking for thoughts and fixes.

 

Go to the dealer and ask them to fix the problem.

 

The center caps are known to have broken tabs from the dealer.

 

Common problem.. Simone didn’t install it right on the PDI.

honestly these caps are the worst to put on when they’re new

 

I know back in my Jaguar XJ40 tech days we would use black RTV to just glue the fuckers on. Just a few dabs to make up for broken clips

 

I used clear. On Z28 wheels running on my S10.

Doesn't take much, doesn't have to be on all tabs. Just something to stop vibration.

 

It seemed like no matter how gentle one was with those covered XJ40 Jaguar caps they'd break the clips off after they got some age to them. Most customers opted to have them RTVed on because the price of a new cap was dumb.

 

Hope it wasn't because you were testing your Taco's cornering ability ...

 

The spring steel used for most caps tends to be very rust-prone. Once rusty their "springiness' is shot.
