Patti,

I have 2 types of plastic covers. The OEM space ship vanagon ones and
aftermarket ones. I have never experience any premature dislodging with
either. One word of caution if you do go the aftermarket route. Buy a set
that is tall enough as you want the grease caps on the hubs to fit under
the plastic wheel covers. If you buy some that are too shallow these will
not fit the rim and accommodate the height of the grease caps.

HTH,
Tony
