My 60 mph hubcap!

["Dave & Tracy" <dave-tracy.sherratt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don, I  lost one of my Le Baron ones in a similar circumstance years ago. I think that at all you can do is to pull back with some pliers the insides where they grip with the wheel.I Hope that will help you out. A  Loss of a hubcap can be a very expensive thing , the replacement for my Le Baron was over 300 bucks !.

Regards

Dave.

Subject: IML: My 60 mph hubcap!

I was heading south on I71 toward the city, with the top down (beautiful day), to show off my car to some former employees.  Then a horrible metallic racket that scared the living you know what out of me.  I quickly pulled over and my right front hubcap that was following me passed me at 60 mph then suddenly crossed the median and slammed into the guardrail on the North bound side.  Needless to say my hubcap that I recently refurbished was a total loss.  Does anyone have a foolproof method of keeping these hub caps on?
