Default My audi logo from my center caps keep poping out? This common on 05 s4 wheel? where to buy?

I had always used Clair parts, but in the last 6 months they have never return a sigle phone call and screwed up both orders I have placed with them. Is there anyone else who offers oem stuff on the web for fair prices like they do?

Do I need the small dark grey logo cap or an entire center cap?

Thanks!!

I had the same problem. In my case my grey logo cap had lost the internal metal loop that put tension on the inserts.

I ordered a replacement from Audi at the Stealership. They come with both the logo cap and the surrounding cap. Wasn't too expensive as I recall.

Default Pull one that stays in and compare it to the one that pops off.

I had one do this and it needed adjusted.

Sounds like the metal retaining ring inside fell off.

Default I have the "fix" for this problem...

I noticed that mine were very losely hanging in there so for fear of losing them totally, I came up with an VERY easy $5 fix.

All you need to do is pop out the entire centercap. Then from behind, you'll see these small tabs where the Audi logo attaches. But some $5 epoxy from Home Depot, cover the tabs with epoxy, essentially gluing them on from the back. Easy fix, takes about 10 minutes.
