Take the round ring/spring off the center cap and expand it so it puts more pressure on the tabs.

Yours aren't factory then. There are 4 slots in the wheel and the factory caps have tabs that snap into them.

Technically you are both right there are 4 tabs that snap into grooves on the wheel but there is also a metal ring inside the cap that looks like holds tension on the lugs.

No, he is saying that his clip/snap on over the lug nuts. The factory ones have the tabs and the metal ring.

are you sure thats how it is on the back ones? cause my front center caps have the 4 clips with the ring

IF it is a factory ford cap, there will be four prongs that clip into the slots on the wheels. Take the circular spring out of the cap itself, there are four places that put pressure on the tabs in the center cap. Bend each of the out ward to put more pressure on the tabs. That is how I fixed mine. Lets just hope I dont get a flat becasue they arent going to be easy to get off.

well they arent factory but IMO they are better than factory cause i have not lost either back one in the year they have been on but have had to replace a front cause of broke clips and i need to replace another due to same reason
