20tabs

I'm putting 20 tab hubcaps on my A wheels. How many tabs should I bend over to properly secure the caps. These are older caps so I'm concerned about snapping off the tabs. Thanks.

Re: 20tabs

Only half of them. Save the other half in case you have to remove the hubcaps again

No more than half and only enough to make them secure followed by a strip of silicone. Wayne

Four should be enough, on opposite sides 12,3 6 and 9. If they rattle, put a dab of silicon on the inside in 3 or 4 places.

"A dab of silicone on the inside..." I do as Rusty says!

The vendors sell an "O" ring to take out the rattle if you don't want to use glue.
