How many clips per wheel cover?
« on: October 11, 2005, 16:33:14 »
I have a late-model 280 SL and was wondering how many retaining clips are recommended per cover.

Thanks.

My original caps ( heavy type) had four clips each.  My new caps were delivered with four for each one.

Hello Doug and Bob,
Yes according to the dealer's parts book a total of sixteen required (four per wheel).
