jagnut66 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi, Does anyone have suggestions as to how to stop my drivers side front wheel trim from rattling when the car is in motion? The rest are tight, retained snugly by the hubcaps but not this one.😒 Is it simply the case that I will have to replace it? Though my concern there would be that the replacement might rattle also and I'd be back to square one. Many thanks, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Draught Excluder foam trim behind the outer Rim?. Never tried it but could work?. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFL Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 It may need some slight careful adjustment with a pair of pliers to make it a tighter fit against the wheel rim and hub cap? Alternately some stick on Draft excluder foam as suggested, this worked on a rattling Ro-style trim on my Vitesse😁 Regards Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagnut66 Posted July 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks for that, an obvious solution I know but I've not had wheel trims before, so wondered if some were simply a bad fit. Anyway I took a pair of grips and 'adjusted' the inner rim edge, which the hubcap sits slightly over, outward and then refitted it. Instant result! 😃 It now fits tightly, so hopefully no more annoying rattles when I'm driving, well from that anyway................ Best wishes, Mike.
