wheel centers falling off

does anyone have any good remedies for the front wheel centers falling off? Were these supposed to have a metal clip to help hold them on or is that only the back ones? I try to snap the wheel center back on, but it won't stay on. It is like it is too loose. The tabs all seem to be intact, how do you keep these things on?? any help is appreciated

I stuck some butyl (black sticky stuff) on the insides of mine. I really hate those center caps.

Re: wheel centers falling off

I always put black electrical tape on the plastic clips, worked for about 5 years on one car. Maybe even try trim or emblem 2-sided 3M adhesive tape.
