I noticed today some Asshole took all of my air cap on my tire. Where can i get the air cap? From what i know, type S air cap looks different from standard automobile air cap. I don't want to steal someone else's type S tire air cap. How much do they run if i was to purchase them at a dealer?

 

^^ probably like $3 just go in.. or you can find them at probably any auto store.. not a big deal

 

oh no did you call the cops? Sometimes they just fall off. It happened on my corrola and it happened on my TL. Why would anyone go around and steal those.

 

I guess it's the princible of it. I'd be pissed too! I think the Type-S caps are a silver color. Either check with the dealership or just pick up some black ones and spray paint them silver.

 

I got silver low profile caps from my local tire shop when I brought in the tire to be sealed - my contractors insisted on parking in the driveway, and happen to be droppin' nails everywhere!

Anyhow, I just asked the tire guy, and he just gave them away.

 

Just make certain the replacements have a seal inside the cap, if not, water can penetrate and cause problems with the TPMS.

 

It was prbably some little kid... he needed them for his BMX tires... plus have extra...

 

ive had done to me with my last car....soo i just put the little plastic ones on

 

wow that is fail. the thief must have had a low self esteem.

 

Here is a interesting idea:

Do what I do....use a socket wrench and hand tighten the valve cap. Tight it enough where it is hard to unscrew by hand. But you will always need to carry a socket wrench in your car. Better that getting it stolen.

 

I would have... Not really, that was funny. andrew is right though, you can go to any auto part store and buy them.

Sucks =
Easy fix =

My thoughts =

 

ill tell my son to return them....lol

but u gotta promise no hard feelings amongst AZiners...

 

oh yeah.. get some LED caps.. nobody will steal those..

 

we used to do that when we were young, alot of kids do that and steal them

 

+1

 

sorry i was bored and wanted to do some hoodrat thangs so i stole them

3/4 of my valve caps were missing from my tires so i went to the nearest kragen and bought a new set for $4

 

Rig them up to your battery somehow so next time some clown tries to steal them, ZAP! the next thing he'll be stealing is burn cream.

 

LMAO ... you guys are comedians ?

 

be glad these are the cheap plastic ones and not the 25 dollar BMW ones!

 

I would steal one from a parked TYPE S, but im scared the car might belong to one of the azine members. lol

 

I just went to Wally World up here in the auto section and they have chromed metal ones for $4 a set of 4 .. then when you put them on they are hex head so do like he ^^^ did .. I just use a small cresent wrench to tighten/loosen them .. Its in the center armrest storrage all the time.

 

hahaha I wanna see those on a car

 

Whatever you do, DO NOT get green caps. I have no idea why those even exist and why dealers/mechanics/car shops always seem to supply those.

 

i only see those from the cars that got their tires from Costco. I forgot what costco puts in the tires but its not air its like hydrogen or something...

 

Nitrogen

 

hahaha yeah that...

 

You are lucky they did not steal your wheels or car
