Default Howto Video: Noisy centercaps

This is a very small fix but man did it make a difference in what the car sounds like from the outside when I'm driving slowly. I used to drive around shopping centers and whatnot and hear this odd rattling noise coming from the car and it took me a while to realize it was the center caps on the wheels that was loose causing the rattling noise. Easy fix, take the caps off, bend the little metal prongs back a bit and re-attach.

I even made a video to show how simple it is to remedy such a minor annoyance.

BTW, what kind of drilled rotors are those, and how much did you pay for the set?
