unofix Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Glue works well for a hat so it probably be ok for a cap 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Neither. It'll need to be removed when the tyres are changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your other cars have centreless alloys (Peugeot/Citroen mainly) then most garages will need to remove the centre cap for thier balancing machine. Even 10 years ago it was hard to find a garage with the correct adapter to balance centreless alloys...I was a Peugeot guy back then. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they do just clip in, designed for easy removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
