Rubber-Band Mod

[kmastl]

Had my wheels of tonight and attempted to fix the dreaded loose center cap problem. I ended up stuffing a rubber band between the plastic tabs and the wheel from the backside with a flat-head screwdriver. It fit really well, nice and snug, and stretched the rubber-band a little.

They are in there nice and tight now.

Thought I would share this if anyone has a better way to fix this problem I would like to know how you did it. The band will probably rot but I think it should last for a while. There probably is a better suited o-ring or something that can last a whole lot longer but this is all I had lying around.

i used a few wraps of electrical tape, but I like your idea better

Non Lubricated Condom works the best.

Way to make use of a rubber band Ken!

I put a few dabs of black rtv silicone on the tabs. Like it was said above, one of my center caps is also loose/rotates but it snaps in place.

For added peace of mind.....so it won't fly off, I used silicone. Center cap doesn't move/rotate now & still can be popped out easily if need without damaging it.

I guess rtv silicone is just like duct tape....as Tim Allen the Tool Man says "If you can't fix it duct it."

Silicone another great product!!!
