when i was washing the car the other day i noticed that my front passenger side stud cover was lifted up in one area..looks like something has been shoved under it to try and pry it off..but its still there, i can wiggle it a bit, but i dont think its going to fall out - maybe someone tried to nick it and failed? not sure how you could prevent them falling out/being stolen though
