I have a 86 Subaru brat. I have three original center caps. I found a full set in better condition
On a 84 gl hatch.

Problem is they don't catch when I try to put them on. Is there a trick to get them to hold. I noticed the clips are a little different. The originals stick out higher then the new ones. But mine don't even stay on all that well.

Does anyone have any ideas? the left side is from my brat. the right from a gl hatch

I am running brat caps on my 92 Loyale. The trick is to bend the teeth/hooks a little bit at a time until it attaches snugly.

For the GL/Loyale series 6 spoke wagon wheels, a plastic ring is required to line the center whole of the wheel, that the caps attach to.  Then you may need to rebend the teeth on the cap, in order to get a firm grip on the plastic ring.

Yah on the plastic ring, dumb design, but i do have 1 Brand new if you need it....
