How To Correctly
Install Wheel Covers
1. Install the
wheel cover wire retention ring on the inside of the plastic
legs in the grooves near the bottom of the legs. Note: some wheel
cover styles may have the ring pre-installed.
2. Next, crouch
down in front of the wheel and tip the wheel cover slightly into the wheel at the 6 o'clock position. The installed
ring at this point should only be approximately
1/3rd of
the way into the fully seated position.
3. With your fingertips
resting on the wheel covers edge at 10 and 2 o'clock, and your
palms resting at 9 and 3 o'clock on the wheel cover face, pull
down slightly towards the 6 o'clock position with your fingertips
to put just a little downward pressure on the ring.....then,
pop the wheel cover into the fully seated position with your
palms a 9 and 3 o'clock all
at once. The goal is to
fully seat the wheel cover 360 degrees....
ALL AT ONCE.
Do not try to work
your way around little by little with a fully seated wire ring
as this will not work.
Any wheel cover,
no matter how high the quality can be broken by forcing installation
incorrectly by trying to work your way around little by little,
and forcing the last few inches to seat when the wheel cover
is severely bent out of shape.
