My new Mr Mike moons DO NOT fit

[kevschofield]

Not happy right now.

I carefully measured my 'nubs' at 10 3/8" but was told they must be 10 1/8 as thats the largest size moon they sell..

I ordered a pair of them, as well as a pair of 14" trim rings.

The rings fit perfectly, the moons will not go on.
I've tried every possible way to get them to pop over the nubs but they are just too small..

To my dismay, I even carefully tried my rubber mallet and ended up with a nice dent in it so I can't even return that one.

I'm gettign out the dremel this morning to see what I can do on the dented one to make it fit..
If that works I'll try the still good one. Very frustrating.


Here's the 14" rim style I have (picture is prior to repainting I did)

I feel your pain, benn down that road alot rebuilding cars, nothing worse that getting excited about getting something new and it not fitting.
I also bought the wrong item for camper recently, but I am not saying what it was, and am not admitting to it.

LOL.. I know.. I'm calmed down now.
I used the dremel to notch a couple spots to get them 'up over the nub' easier and the caps are now on.

They look good but I'll be getting the 10 1/4 stainless stell ones I found from a different vendor to replace these..

Ouch Kev! Our moons match. Same story here--same attempted solution. Same dent.

I waited until we got to warm warm weather--then they went on like greased lightning for my husband. Guess he just has the baby moon touch.

Did you get the 10 1/8th as well?
Without the dremel, there is no way these were going on.

I'm hopeful they will stay on for next weekends trip.
Once I got them to pop over the nub I couldn't remove them by hand so I should be OK.

I lost one that I thought was on for good, going over a gravel road the second day of our road trip.....so will keep the fingers crossed for you. Can you pm me your supplier for the correct size? I have to replace mine now too!
And just by the way....congrats your trailer is looking fantastic!!!
