Hubcap/wheel cover locks

I have wire wheel covers that have the locks to hold them on. When the car was purchased, it didn't have the key. The stealership :rolleyes: that sold us the car just modified the locks by notching them :banghead: , now the notch is starting to get worn out. :disappoin Any ideas, aside from getting new locks, as to the remedy for this. I thought about using plastic weld epoxy, didn't know if that would be strong enough to last. Any ideas would be appreciated...

Here's what I did when one of mine got stripped:

I cut a groove on each side such that there would be a space for a large pry bar of just the right width to screw it out like a traditional (not phillips) screw. Does this make sense?

Yep, I know exactly what you are talking about. That is exactly what the stealership did when we bought it. The slots are getting messed up and won't hold much longer. :banghead:

Only suggestion is going down to the junkyard. Get a new set that has the key., or even better, find a key there, only 5 or 6 different versions were used.

I ended up calling the dealer ship where I bought my Chevy truck. Ordered new locks and a key about 40 bucks :disappoin :banghead:

That's actaully not too bad.:)
