Blog 42 Ties for Wheel Trims, Now just how often have I had to use these, long ones best, but recently I've reverted to wire

By keef & annie, Jul 29 2012 08:14AM Ties for Wheel Trims

Having been away recently and rather frustratingly lost a wheel trim in transit I decided to use the plastic cable ties you can get on eBay to secure my new wheel trims.

Discover the surprisingly essential world of wheel‑trim ties — the tiny heroes that stop your motorhome trims flying off halfway down the A1. This blog explains why they matter, how to fit them, and the laughs we had learning the hard way. A practical, tongue‑in‑cheek guide for motorhome owners who want secure wheel trims, fewer roadside rescues and a smoother, smarter ride. The wheel trims are quite costly and if you lose one trim it is often very difficult to get an exact match so you often end up have to get a costly set of 4. So for £1 for a pack of 100 ties its a no brainer. I even managed to get a matching colour between tie & trim so the tie is almost visually invisible. I decided to tie them up top and bottom as well just in case (heaven forbid) that in the future I clip a kerb or something. Could save you some money in the future!

UPDATE Nov 2012

I think I have now replaced all 4 at least once #naughtyboy

I often but them on eBay in batches of 2 or 4, cheaper #justathought
