Common Issue 1: How do I install automotive rim protectors on my car wheels?

First press and fix the valve part, then two spaces each, and press and fix the fourth space. Accordingly, fix the third grid fixed point. After the three points are fixed, press the remaining buckle positions in sequence.
Split Rim Protector: Insert the hub protector into the wheel hub, then press the edges inward to secure. Align the next hub protector segment with the edge of the previous one and press it in. Repeat this step for all segments.For all models, make sure the rim's surface is dry and at room temperature for optimal adhesion.
