Default Re: Plastic caps on wheel nuts coming off

I think they are just cosmetic.....

Come off due to rattle guns?? Doubt it.

I would just try and find a non genuine set and do the whole car over. Would be cheaper than 1 genuine one from Ford I would imagine.

Before putting them on, clean the wheel nuts really good and put a thin bead of Blu-tac on each stud to hold them in place.

As I said, I'm pretty certain they are purely cosmetic. If you were really particular about them you could also get aftermarket wheel lugs that have the chrome looking nut built in... but make sure they match your wheel brace or you won't be able to change a tyre!
