WIRE WHEEL COVER:




TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


Some wire wheel covers may have a snapping or creaking noise when driving at low speeds. This noise may be caused by the wheel cover flexing on the wheel. This condition can be corrected by removing the wheel covers and placing them upside down on a covered bench. Then center punch and drill four (4) 1/4" holes evenly spaced in the wheel cover (see illustration). Holes should be drilled on the second step of the cover from the inboard side. Install the four (4) nylon clips, P/N 411700, in the drilled holes.
