Wheel balance weights falling off

nu11eaf · Nov 4th, 2017, 12:07

I have found segments of wheel balance weights on my drive from my XC90 wheels, this is the second time this has happened, my dealer re-balanced my front wheel last time this happened, it has now happened again on the other side, the weights are steel with a rubber backing, the steel is rusty and it looks like there was no glue on the rubber backing of segments that came away.
The bits fall off when washing the wheels.
Has anyone else had this problem.

Not on the XC90 nor any car I've owned.

Over the last 13 years I have had Volvo,s have never had the weights come off.

Dow you (pre)wash the wheels with a special cleaning fluid to remove brake dust?

Washing up liquid and water.about 4 or 5 times a year, get no pleasure from washing cars.

Washing up not recommended as the glue can be destroyed by it.

That's why I asked.
