Strut Tower Cap Set

Anyone familiar with these? Trying to determine how to secure the nut caps. What is best way to do that? It appears a the cap must be filled with glue and inserted over the nuts but if so, they'll have to be removed for front end alignment?

I used that Blue Putty used for Hanging Notes to walls in an Office Or School.
Sticks but is easily removed with no damage to the Wall.
The Blue Putty can be purchased at any Office Supply Store.

It holds well but is not Sticky or Messy, and it is not hard to remove the Caps.

Fill the cap leaving a Hole for the Stud, push on the Stud, remove from stud and clean out excess,
replace - Finished.

Also works on the large centre cap.

Mine have been on for Two Summers and are still on and tight.

Also use it to hold Screws or Nuts in a Driver for Installs.

Ignore what they say about doublestick tape, they screw on, there's no tape. I have a set on my car, very high quality.

Thanks guys. Since I already bought the ones from PartsCheap site (should have looked around), I'll go the blue putty route.
