09 Vibe's Center Cap (Aluminum Wheel only)

They have released a service bulletin concerning the center caps falling off the '09 Vibes. 08-03-10-011: Loose orMissing Wheel Cap Repair Procedure - (Aug 22, 2008) The 'fix' is to glue the new ones in, which you MIGHT need to know when you go to get your tires rotated, since they will have to be reglued every time.

Geez I guess it just took me calling in every week since I've had the problem, but how do I get a dealership/GM to buy me a new set of caps?

give them the Bulletin # I presented you..... just don't tell them where you got it...I'm on GM's bad list right now anyway.

Why would these need to be re-glued? You don't need to remove to get to the lug nuts...?

Lost 2 caps in about a week on a brand new 09 with the 17 inch wheels that come with the 1sc package. I might write my name/phone number on the back of the other two

Don't know why they need to remove them, but after I took mine in to the dealer to get the tires rotated (no balancing or mounting), ALL of them fell off after 2 weeks.The dealer is refusing to replace them under warranty even after I showed them the service bulletin, claiming it's not a warranty repair (even though the warranty labor code is on the bulletin itself). (removed)?
