We are 6 months down the track with a 2008 Ford Focus Cabriolet.
One word “Fantastic” however a few minor problems:- 1. When the roof is closed the windows will not close immediately. They go into safety mode and stop 15cm from the closed position. Three manual movements later they are closed. Can put up with it v’s service time off the road. 2. The hub inserts keep falling off. (18” rims). Or we have a hub thief!! Has anyone experienced problems on this model with missing inserts. At $95.00 per unit it’s getting expensive. Cheers, Roger. |

Seems a strange thing to steal...but then, who'd steal a 2c valve cap? I lose them all the time, and I don't think they're coming off themselves...
It's a crude solution, but black silicon will hold them in, and stay soft enough to remove them when need be. Just don't use very much of it....Maybe even some good double sided tape or velcro tape inside? Or just take them all off  RM.

Possibly stolen. I used to get the centre caps on my Falcon's mags flogged all the time. Eventually I got sick of them being nicked all the time so I got a set of steel stocko rims.
Unfortunately people will steal these too - guy I know had the steel rims nicked off his commodore and they left it sitting on its brake discs. You could use epoxy to hold the caps on, but if someone is determined enough they'll prise them off anyway.
