Default Loose center caps

Hi all - I noticed while washing my GTS that the center caps on 3 of the 4 wheels are loose - enough that I can spin them in place. Any ideas on how these can be tightened? I’m kind of surprised they haven’t popped out yet as much as I drive.

All OEM on 21” sport design wheels.

Thanks!

You can put a little dab of silicone caulk on the prongs that hold the center caps in place. Will hold them better but still allow them to be removed without damage to center cap nor wheel.

I had the same issue and I think must have been heat issues causing the prongs to weaken and loose their holding power. My dealer just replaced mine. I like DrBillyD's suggestion.
