I have no idea where I lost the left front one. After that one disappeared I pulled and re-glued all the crests and haven't lost one since (3 years). I used regular old Weldwood contact cement. I thought about using epoxy, but I decided to go with something that had some flex to it.
I used a dab of leftover Loctite 5900 on the centercap tabs to keep them from making noise. They loosen up with age, and rattle. "Not anymore."

Wow, ok...hmmm, I've never had a crest fall off a centercap. What are you guys using to clean your cars?

I have had a set of cheap fleabay ones on my winter wheels, and on those, I saw the crests loosen up....
