Cap Swapping & Customization

 

One of the key advantages of the Teck Designs system is its tool-free, non-permanent design.

 

To swap cap colors or designs:

  4. Reassemble and reinstall. Confirm everything fits tight. If you feel that the cap is not securing prorperly please contact us before driving the vehicle with caps on
