I've had 2 fall off in the last year too, but as mine were only a few months old they were replaced FOC by the OPC........mine were due to driving over some poorly surfaced roads in Suffolf/Norfolk......

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Folks
I have 996 facelift fitted with 18" 2-piece GT3 alloys and in the last few weeks I have lost 2 of the centre coloured crest shields which have just fallen off. The metal shields just seem to be stuck on with glue to the plastic wheel hubs. My local OPC, where I have been getting the replacements, says this can happen this time of year when the weather gets damp. Surely Porsche can make a wheel hub with a Porsche badge which doesn't fall off when it gets wet.
Has anyone experienced this? At £34 a time I wondering whether its worth replcementing them again before the summer.
Cheers
David..

Well a full set is a lot cheaper on ebay - but I have never heard of them just falling off. Well not in the last year anyway.
If you continue to have problems why not get some cheaper black&white ones for the winter.

Isn't there two types of wheel centres, those that have a sticker on them and those that have a embedded crest?

I lost 3 of these badges on brand new centres during my trip home from Brittany yesterday. £133.26 a set of 4 from my local OPC. Bloody stroll on!

In the past two and a half years Ive had four crests "drop" off!
Complained bitterly to my OPC(Guildford) after the third one came off.....and
basically they werent interested!
I'd even tried the line.."Quite obviously the Crests are'nt fit for the purpose for which they're designed for'. They didnt budge.They knew i needed a new crest....so I had to buy one at @£35?? Then they said they'd fit it for FREE as a goodwill gesture (Goodwill gesture my ar*e!). I paid them £77k for the C4S - having traded the C4 in that I'd bought from them 6 weeks(yes,thats right - SIX weeks) earlier!
When the next Crest fell off whilst cleaning it....i glued it back on myself!
Love my C4S, but - with the exception of two staff at OPC Guildord - the Porsche "customer service" is quite frankly unimpressive. I have,and still am considering another marque as my next purchase...although Im smitten by the 911! Maybe I should consider another dealer?
Does anyone else think "Customer service" is inconsistant at OPC's??
