Glue works well for a hat so it probably be ok for a cap

Neither.  It'll need to be removed when the tyres are changed.

really? on all my other cars they dont touch the center cap at all to change the tires.

i am bit worried if water gets inside the wheel hub and ruin the drive shaft.

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.

Yes, they do just clip in, designed for easy removal. :smile:
