In order to address potential damage to full wheel covers, and to improve the installed appearance of the covers, especially during vehicle prep, the following installation procedure should be followed:

1. Hold the cover evenly against the rim and gradually start all the retention tabs at the same time.

2. Fully seat the cover flush to the rim flange by applying pressure gradually around the cover.

NOTICE: DO NOT FULLY SEAT THE COVER ON ONE SIDE AND THEM FORCE THE REST OF THE COVER ON. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE COVER RETENTION RING TO FULLY SEAT ON THE RIM, AND ALSO LEAVES GAPS BETWEEN THE COVER AND THE RIM FLANGE.
