On the subject of «hubcaps». Anyone got a good way of eliminating squeaks (actually rattling) of wire wheels caps? On my C-300 one of the repro caps is so noisy that I usually pull it off when driving for slightly more peace of mind and being able to listen for anything else falling apart.. There is no evident broken or missing stuff on this cap compared to the others. Narve in sub-freezing Norway Fra: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] På vegne av Keith Boonstra 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. Keith - On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Rich Barber <c300@xxxxxxx> wrote: 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? Rich From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Keith Boonstra 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.

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?
