20tabs
I'm putting 20 tab hubcaps on my A wheels. How many tabs should I bend over to properly secure the caps. These are older caps so I'm concerned about snapping off the tabs. Thanks.

Re: 20tabs
Only half of them. Save the other half in case you have to remove the hubcaps again

Re: 20tabs
No more than half and only enough to make them secure followed by a strip of silicone. Wayne

Re: 20tabs
Four should be enough, on opposite sides 12,3 6 and 9. If they rattle, put a dab of silicon on the inside in 3 or 4 places.

Re: 20tabs
The vendors sell an "O" ring to take out the rattle if you don't want to use glue.
