hubcap pullers
i was actually kind of worried about how i would get the hubcaps off (i need to fix that one loose clip that's rattling around in there). they're on there pretty good.
well, i went out to the site where i bought the clips, to buy more clips to have as spares. and lo and behold, they sell something called hubcap pullers!
i had been wondering why the hubcaps had two pairs of small holes on the outer rim. the hubcap pullers-- which are sold in pairs-- are basically a knob with two bent bits of wire sticking out from them. looks like the wire bits will fit perfectly in the holes. i guess you stretch the hubcaps to free them from the clips.
anyway, i ordered a pair, so we shall soon see.
clever vw folks!
