What do you do to keep your center caps from falling off?

I used to have a Durango, the center caps fell off all the time and they cost a $20 from the dealer or something ridiculous. What I did to solve the problem was wrap a piece of Teflon tape all the way around the "fingers" that held the cap in place. They never fell off again. I forget what DSM center caps are like though so I don't know if that will work for you.

I may have some and I also have that stupid vacuum port that mounts on the t-stat housing if your still looking for that.

You want pictures of the little snap rings that hold the center caps in? lol

I will see if I can get you a couple before the weekend.

I might have the snap rings, I kept them from a set of trashed 3kgt wheels and I am pretty sure they are the same.

Someone just tell me how much you want for them shipped. Otherwise I am heading to a wheel and tire store to get some.

Oh yeah, I remember now. If the snap ring comes loose or is missing the center cap falls into the wheel and rattle around in there.

At least they don't fall onto the road every time you hit a pothole. After the number of $20 center caps I bought for my Durango, I'm not really sure why Chrysler is in financial trouble.

Well we had them ****s at Jacks but someone cut our fence and stole all our wheels, probably about 30-40 stock wheels.
