Installing hub covers or hub caps... The kind with the hex nut built into the cap... Hub cover falls off the nut after installation. I hear that the nuts are just glued in to the back of the cap... Any tips?

I'm sorry to hear you have issues with your nuts. You might want to make sure there is no lubricants on them. Sometimes they will get greasy from playing with them. Are you sure your nuts are the proper size? If their too small, the hubs will not grab tight. Another thing you might want to check, the holes the nuts go in should have rings around the ends of them, or curve in on the tips. If your nuts are too long, it will not allow the curved ends to wrap around the taped side of the nut. Send a picture of your nuts and where they go into the hub caps.
The hub covers in the bag seem to have the hex nut attached to the hub base at 2 points. The upper right hand hub base shows it the best. I may just try to find another nut that fits and add some CA or sealer to try to keep the nut attached to the base.... we'll see...
