jack point cover wont re-attach

[skahigh]

i had one of mine off yesterday to clean the wheel properly and for ages just coult get it to go back on properly.....eventually managed to do it by hooking the top front in then getting my head under the car and popping the two hook things back in with a small knife! it took an awful lot of force to do but it seems the cover bendswhen you just push from underneath and doesnt apply the force to the two little hooks.

I had my wheels balanced earlier and the bloke took the one off. Anyway, it came off on the motorway on my way home and took a battering as you can imagine! Gutted. I managed to get it on by clipping the bottom on first, then i used my key to push the top into the groove. Give it a smack then to make sure its on securely. Seems ok now. ******* of a job tho!

Just been cleaning the wheels and putting the jack covers on was trying me but I found putting a little grease on the clips that face upwards and the one at the back helped it all on and they clipped in no probs.

Just another hint

Got it down to a 2 second job....just undo the screw by the wheel and the one underneath the car and pull the side skirt down the then just clip on then put the screws back in...easy lol

This worked a treat and is by far the quickest, easiest and least damaging to the car.

clean off crap.

pull skirt down as you push cover upwards and towards centre of car.

(you can push hard all day long, but if you dont pull skirt down your are just pushing the cover and skirt against the underside of the car.
