How secure are the rear wheel covers on the liberty? Do they just zip up or is there some kind of security device? Im asking about the factory ones.

I had one that was camouflage...it looked REALLY cool being that mine is Lt. Khaki and all. About a week after I got it, someone literally RIPPED it to shreds trying to steal it. They didn't succeed because I had used 1/8" think vinyl coated steel cable run through grommets in the top and bottom of it to secure it to the spare tire mounting bracket. They must have yanked on it pretty hard to get it to rip like that. Needless to say,I was mad....oh well, now we've got the regular "JEEP Liberty" tire cover. It's been there for a year, guess nobody wants that one...LOL
that steel cable is a good idea.. I may try that.
There is no security on spare. It can be removed with the spare carrier off the tailgate.
Getting away from the original question, but there is a security device for the spare tire carrier as well, I have one on mine. Where I park at work is not the greatest area and I didn't want someone to walk away with my spare Revo
I got it on e-bay, they are still available here.
Simple but effective.

Yup, that's what I figured. It's a pretty clever idea.
wow! I have no interest in taking anyones. hahaha i was looking to get one but didnt know how secure they were. I hate to spend $40-50 and have someone run off with it.

The same guy has this:
Spare Tire Lug Nut Kit Fills 2 Empty Holes Jeep Liberty
I have no cover... I couldn't resist
If you wanna remove it yourself, I guess that isn't happening, is it?
just need to find the retainers from somewhere...
