hubcaps falling off,

[gerald2613]

any body devised a way to keep hubcaps on??, fed up of losing them, lol any suggestions please

have you checked that all clips are intact on your wheels?

may need to bend them for a bit more tension?

I've never had mine fall off in the last 16 years and always struggle taking them off...

Good luck

As said your clips will have lost tension over time or may be missing:

thanks all, think ive found the problem ,one dome cap is slightly thinner on the edge,3 are about 1/2" on edge and the other is about 3/8", when i bang them on , this one feels a bit too easy, ,all clips on wheels are fine , thanks

Probably a narrow 5 cap.
