check and see if tabs are broken, if so replace.

I use a dab of black silicone at a couple of spots on the area of the cap that sits in the centering bore of the wheel. You can still punch the cap out if necessary without any damage but it keeps the caps from rattling otherwise. I've had rattling caps on every Volvo I've had that have used the black center caps so you're experience is not unique.

Cheers,

Bill
