Polestar Dust Caps

[Casa1862]

I was only kidding, no idea they were £80!. That’s just crazy money, are you sure that’s the right price?

No offence taken - it was only when I found out the price that I became more bothered by it - they are actually £79.99

Just a quick update in case anyone is searching for this topic in the future - volvo wouldnt replace the caps under warranty as apparently the colour has flaked off due to outside influence ie the salt on the roads - and thats not covered !!

Must have been a massive surprise to them to hear that rock salt gets put on the roads eh

Obviously you're not meant to leave them on the wheels, (for display purposes only).

That is pretty poor though, I have to say, they are basically admitting that they aren't fit for purpose, if they can't withstand being 'used'. Is the rest of the car suitable for exterior use ?

You can save a couple of quid on ebay, if you're planning on replacing.

around £65 for 'genuine'

Or £3.99 for something similar.

Interesting, I dont have a Polestar but if i did i know which ones I would be buying, particularly with the reported ‘flakiness’ of the £70 ones!!!

I have some Amazon ones in my back pocket now but based on this You Tube video its not an uncommon problem on Polestar 2's either:
