Complete Your Rims With Genuine Wheel Center Caps
A wheel center cap serves as the central aesthetic cover sealing the middle hub of your Subaru Crosstrek. It actively prevents highly corrosive salt and abrasive road dirt from attacking the delicate spindle nut. Installing a fresh wheel cap instantly restores the premium showroom appearance of your exterior rims.
Replacing a Wheel Center Cap
1. Clean the Wheel
Wash the central rim bore thoroughly to remove thick brake dust.
2. Remove the Old Cap
Use a non-marring plastic pry tool to gently pop the old cap out.
3. Align the Notch
Line up the small retention notch with the corresponding wheel slot.
4. Press Firmly Inward
Push the new cap evenly until the spring clips click securely.
5. Verify the Seal
Pull lightly on the edges to ensure the cap is locked tight.
