I just lost a hubcap for the 3rd time on my 97 Impreza. They are the twist-lock deals. Anyone have some good suggestions for keeping these buggers on? I'm thinking of trying a little bit of silicone.
Thanks,
Jason

Any good ( cheap ) source?

I'm curious was it the same wheel each time? Was it front wheels in all three instances?
Mine lost passenger front and driver rear.

Damn I hate those things. One flew off the car in front of me, wacked the car to the left, bounced back in front of me, and I ran over it. Scuffed up my front lip and bent the license plate. Those things should be illegal.
In about 1976, I was riding my motorcycle on the freeway near Santa Barbara (with a passenger) when a hubcap fell off a car nearby and rolled alongside me for what seemed like an eternity. It then veered and hit a guardrail and came back at me before going off the road. This all was bad enough, but I was coming home from a Jefferson Starship concert where I had dropped acid several hours earlier. God watches over fools and drunks and I was both.....
