Default Center Caps

I just noticed that one of the shields on my center cap is missing. This is probably the second time I have replaced them since I've owned the car. Does anyone have a reason, or a "cure?" These were brand spanking new 5 months ago. As you know, they are not cheap!! Help?

With repeated heat cycles the glue gives up the ghost and the crest can come loose.
You can add aftermarket crests and then use RTV or JB Weld for a permanent fix ...

Hi Ted. Can you point me in the correct direction to source? Isn't this size kind of odd vs other shields?

There a knockoff sets on eBay for ~$33

item # 280501208957
&
item # 260595166355

No affiliation with the seller or the product but the OEM caps aren't exactly high quality.
One of the crests on my new caps had already fallen off in the box when it was shipped to me.
I used JB Weld to glue it back on.
