Gas Door
Had a request, maybe someone on this forum can help me with.
My Z's gas cap door doesn't have a mount to place the cap in. I called service, and asked them about a replacement, and they are oblivious (since part manual doesn't show the back side of the door). He doesn't know if it's a metal piece that's literally missing, or a plastic piece that can be snapped in. Anyway I was wondering if someone can photograph the inside of their gas door, and help me figure out if a part can be ordered, or if they need to buy me a new gas door, and repaint it (which the service guy thinks may be necessary? doesn't sound right). Thanks in advance edit in: the car is a 2010.. Not sure if the year has anything to do with this, but wanted to throw that in. |

I have a 2009 and my cap has a tether that hangs on a little hook on the gas door. The hook is actually part of the door...it's not something that could be added...

Mine too. But I don't use it since the cap then rests against the paint on the fender. I usually lay it down on the "ledge" inside the door area. There is enough room to leave it there and still have room to pump your gas.

Not sure if my Hyundai Tuscon loaner car is cool enough to hang with the Z's...
I guess its the notch to the left that it hangs from??? the 2 parallel pieces made me think there was supposed to be a piece that fits imbetween here (similar on the G) that the cap would lay against. Someone will have to show me when I get my car back I guess LOL |
