I have a weird new problem that was never an issue before.
A few weeks ago I noticed the driver side wheel cover and grease cap had both popped off but both were in the street next to car in front of my house. I smacked the cap back in with a mallet, put the wheel cover back on and drove the car. A day later both were gone again but this time lost in the streets.
I replaced the grease cap with a brand new one. It stayed on so far and its been about 2 weeks. But today I noticed the passenger side cap and wheel cover gone. I stopped at Autozone and grabbed a new grease cap and hammered it in with a mallet and a cup a little bigger than the cap so I could drive it in without smashing the cup.
One short drive and its gone.
I still haven't gone on ebay looking for new wheel covers but I need to resolve this ASAP. I thought of using some silicone or RTV but it probably wont stick to the greasy rotor slot.
Has anybody else had this happen? its weird because I been driving this for 3 years and all of a sudden the grease caps wont stay in? And the ones that flew out this month were put in new with new rotors 2 summers back. they're not old enough to be worn out
