Is my fuel door missing a rubber insert or something?

I'm glad i saw this thread, I am missing that piece too.

We should start a club for people missing them. Well, more like a therapy group.

just went out and looked...never noticed it since it blends perfectly with the dark paint...

That's a nice thing about dark paint--things blend in better.

I wasn't too fond of buying a white car (but did because good price, etc. etc.), but I've come to like it a lot. Still, it's kind of annoying because trim seems more out of place when it's not perfect, etc.

Haha. Yeah, we need some meetings, so we can all share experiences of where we have laid our gas caps in a last resort, for me on top of the trunk, which usually ends with the thing rolling off the d@mn trunk and under the car so then i look like a jack*** all up under my car at a Chevron!

Hahahahahaha. I'm afraid of damaging my paint (as if my paint is perfect...), so I always set it on the ground or a concrete block if there's one.

I thought about ghetto rigging some kind of thing where the gas cap is just on a string like some cars are, and it just hangs there.
But i don't want to get in a hurry one day and sling it too hard, taking a chip out of my paint. lol

 

[Compeek]

Yeah, exactly. My parents have an '03 Accord that has that stock. I'm not sure I'd like that as much as just setting the cap in the door where it sits more securely.

I love seeing people close their gas door though, with the cap still hanging out from under it by the string. It makes my day everytime.

 

[Compeek]

Hahaha, I don't understand how somebody could manage to do that. Maybe we're just more careful, but I don't see how you could forget to put the cap on immediately after pulling the nozzle out.
