370Z gas cap door problems

CBRich · 04-29-2010, 08:03 AM

I just went and looked at my gas cap. You would really have to screw up to break this thing.

i think some ppl have no patience and when something doesnt work perfectly everytime, panic sets in and nukes go off.

"the gas door doesn't open...do i...try it again or maybe unlock the doors then try...orrr try to rip the crap out of it? lets go with the last option."

Hmm.... strange. I've never had any issues with the gas door. Mine works flawlessly. Good design, works everytime.

Maybe the ppl breaking their gas doors should buy a 1990's car cuz u don't have to do anything but pull it open....duh duh duh

I love these types of threads!

kenchan · 04-29-2010, 10:44 AM

next week his door handles are going to break off and it's due to bad design as well.

kenchan · 04-29-2010, 11:10 AM

ahh, so there is a reason why it broke... you didn't lock you doors when entering the autowash.

Kinda like this?

kenchan · 04-29-2010, 11:32 AM

ahh, so now im thinking it's those autowash places that you hand off your keys and the guys there vac the car and put it into the wash for you unmanned... ok, makes sense why the car is unlocked when entering.

there are other nissans including my G that have the same setup and it hasn't broken after 6yrs... so might be time to look for another car wash or just wash your car youself.
