Fuel door upgrade??

dannonebr · 01-29-2014, 05:20 PM

Obviously the fuel doors on the Zs are a bit weak and troublesome. I would like to find a door that doesn't get broken off at the car wash. I thought my doors were locked. I go to a touchless wash, no brushes. I don't like hand washing unless I absolutely have to so I don't scratch the black paint with the dirt in the sponge or wash mitt. With my prior experience on other vehicles, when I hand wash I rinse the sponge or mitt frequently, but the paint still gets fine scratches and swirls. I've been using this touchless wash for the last 10 years or so, never had a problem with my other cars or trucks, and they all had fuel doors. I never drive in snow or salt, I just want to get the dust off, which this particular wash does an outstanding job of.
