SSilverBeast Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Does this happen to anyone else? And how can I fix it? Every time after about 2-3 drives my driver side, rear center cap is twisted and not lined up with the wheel. And it only happens on that one wheel. Its not really that big of a deal but sometimes it drives me insane cause I see it every time i get in my truck and I have to stop and fix it. Lol It's kinda hard to tell in the pic but hopefully you know what I'm talking about.

Akslowroller Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I am also curious as this happens to all of my caps at some point. I just figured it was from all the power our trucks make lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 It has to be the inner plastic tabs need to be bent out a hair to help it stick better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akslowroller Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 That's what I figured I tried that didn't help. I will have to mess with mine more once winter hits and the stock rims go back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben525 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Go around the plastic tabs with electrical tape about 3 or 4 times then line up the cap and push it in problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick4317 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Mine did this too. Make sure the cap is aligned right. On the inside of it it has an image of the valve stem make sure that you line it up with the actual valve stem. Haven't had an issue since I figured that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamvortec Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have fixed this on other style caps but thankfully my SS hasn't had an issue yet. You can use a eat gun or soildering iron and heat the tabs up just enough to bend them out a little. Don't bend them too much as it will make them a pain to put on. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RtStuf Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Dab of silicone chalk such as kitchen & bath that does not harden to each of the tabs & proper alignment of cap w valve stem should be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSilverBeast Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Well I twisted the cap around so the stem picture lined up and I haven't had the problem since! Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
