Hi all,

I  purchased genuine Mercedes Benz logo tire valve stem covers last year for my 
daughter's MB 2011 300C.  Went to check the tire pressure because she received 
a warning message and  all 4 of the caps were basically sealed to the valve 
stem.  I had to force them off with a pair of pliers and the plastic broke (yes 
they are made of plastic).  There is a white powdery pitting on the threads 
that I lightly wire brushed off.  Still not not perfect but I was able to 
carefully force on the original metal caps I had taken off.  


First time I every experienced that issue and wanted to reach out to see if 
others had too.  Any suggestions on what the issue could be along with ideas on 
how to clean the threads would be appreciated.  Along with thoughts on what to 
purchase for replacements.


Thanks in advance,


Bob Koziak
