The covers are held on by zip ties only. I drilled 1 hole per wheel spoke and attached 1 zip to each spoke, poked the ends through the holes in the cover and zipped the squares cut from other ties onto the ties protruding from the cover and then cut the ends off. So far they are holding up very well, if you need to remove the covers you could stick a small screwdriver or tip of a knife into the catch or just cut them off and replace them, not hard at all to do but if using a knife be carefull, I found out the hard way that my razor sharp knife is razor sharp.
