Lost inside wheel cap cover

[kngfsh27]

I have got to say that when I started reading this, I didn't have a clue what evryone was talking about. The next day I washed my Spyder and did some checking. Now I know and they are still on board.

After reading this thread late Saturday I checked my two caps and they both were too loose for my liking. I picked up some RTV silicone after yesterday's ride and put a very small dab on each of the three clips on each cap. Today I am satisfied that the caps aren't going anywhere without a concerted effort to remove them.

Went to the garage and inspected the inner front hub coverings on my F3-S. (Upgraded version.) By smushing them, discovered they are the same plastic consistency as a Icee domed lid. Very easy to flick off.

Then went and looked at the inner front hub coverings of my '09 Phantom. (The for-runner to the RS-S.) It is billet aluminum, with an allen screw to hold it on.

Where did something go wrong...

One of mine didn't even last the ride home from the dealer when purchased new. So, I never even got the chance to silicon it on.

Dumb design and an even poorer build quality.

Same here. I was told it was not really needed.

I think it happens pretty regular. I looked at 2015 RTS and its missing the left one. Don't even know if it was there when I purchased it or not but it sure is gone now.

Both of mine were gone---- not really sure if they were ever there? Only 2000 mi. Just purchased the billet cap from Lamonster. will put them on like you build a boat---- glued and screwed.
