Re: [Chrysler300] Wheel covers (hubcaps)





Well, Rich, maybe the dab-o'-paint stunt would quiet your squeakers too.  Like they say, it's only crazy if it doesn't work.

Good idea.  How about something to reduce the squeak and squawk of the wheel covers on my '64K while driving (slowly) as the rim flexes?    Pretty evident while creeping thru CA traffic. Maybe the paint daub will help?

Can't recall where I recently read this trick, but it sounds like it might work:

 

Pull off the wheelcover and dab a little glob of paint on the rim on each of the scratches where the grippers have slipped and left their mark.  Then put the wheelcover back on the wheel while the paint is still wet.  When it dries the paint will hold the wheelcover on.  Be sure to repaint the scratches every time you remove the cover.

 

I have not needed to try it, but it seems like an easy little thing to do.  And it's just crazy enough that it might get the job done.

Anybody have a good fix for hubcaps that like to come off at inconvenient times-like when driving? I have had the problem several times now, and in all cases they were fully installed and not at all loose before the trip. Luckely I heard them depart & was able to get them back, but I can't rely on luck forever. Any ideas?
