Stu, do you find it difficult to unlock the centre caps of your Alpina Softlines?

No, the locks seem OK if kept lubed with WD40 each time they're off & I cheat, using washing up liquid to re-fit the centres. The blank has a special little hook to remove it to give access to the lock. I guess if the blanks are missing or not water tight, the locks could sieze easier. Saying that, the car's only done 65,000 in it's 13 years service.

I just have one that is always difficult to lock, (all fine to remove), but found a special tool on e-bay which is perfect if you have a problem locking/unlocking these cap covers.

Cheers, Bonzo.
