Mitch,
I bought Genuine Mercedes Benz Valve Caps. They felt very light and
cheaply made. I thought they were aluminum but they turned out to be plastic.
All four caps were frozen with the white pitting. I am curious and may call
Mercedes directly.
Any ideas for a good replacement? My daughter loves her Mercedes and I
promised her a good fix!
Bob

I bought a set of heavy duty chrome plated brass caps back in the 1980s, had
them on many cars over the years. They had rubber seals in them.
About five years ago, the seals stuck to the stems and I had a bear of a time
getting them off.
What happened to you seems really odd, unless they were plated plastic and the
metal they were plated with corroded.
Mitch.
