    I was lucky to notice that one of my center plastic wheel caps was about to fall off and started trolling the board to figure out how to get it back on (after I questioned how on earth that thing could fit in the space provided without breaking the cap itself). During my search I didn't encounter much more than taking the wheel off, using waxed dental floss, and other less than perfect solutions. So I tried something "new" (if you already figured it out and didn't post it...shame on you!). I took a hair dryer and heated up the black cup in the center of the wheel for 30 seconds and the cap snapped right in. Once it cooled down the plastic memory shrank it back to size and the cap is now snugly held in place...been driving w/o incident.
