Am I the only one that loses one a month?
Any reason why I shouldn't super glue the little effers in place?

Who sells them cheapest online?

 

Yes you are.
Wheel balancing.
I dont know.

 

Hi Alan. I just lost one but I think it was stolen. I would like to know about the super glue as well. What I do know is that a lot of these go on Ebay. If you keep an eye on several auctions, you can sometimes really score a deal compaired to British Atlantic which sells them for 17 bucks a piece. Hope this helps.

 

try some RTV (silicone)

 

You cannot glue them into place, if you do you cannot have your wheels balanced.
In order to put your wheels on a tire balance machine they need to remove the center caps, if you glue them in place then they cannot balance your wheels.
If you glue them in and then try and have your wheels balanced the tire shop will have to break your center caps and then try and remove any residual glue/rtv/whatever you use.
If you are loosing them then you are installing them wrong.

 

Or they're getting stolen... but usually they would take all four.
As mentioned, Ebay is the best place to look for random stuff like that.

 

Use a little sylicone glues, just a small amount around the clips and they will stay on, do not super glue them cause you won't be able to remove them when time to balance or change tires.

 

Thanks guys I'll try the silicone. I do tend to park the truck a lot at long term airport parking so mybe someone is just ****ing with me.

 

Maybe take them off before you get to the airport, the rtv wont stop a thief from taking them and then selling them back to you on ebay !

 

Mine have all mysteriously disapeared. Feels like someone is ganking them one at a time...they just started disappearing recently. Or heck they are 11 years old, maybe the clips are breaking.

I now have one left. lol!
