So how hard is it to replace a fuel door?

Filling my 2012 SCREW up the other day I heard and felt a "pop" when I opened my fuel door. Now it does not stay closed.

It is Tuxedo and always been garage and clayed polished regularly. So not too worried about color difference.

Is this going to be a pain in my **** or just use Velcro or someone to keep it closed?

 

Plenty of threads and videos on this common problem. Spring/hinge popped loose; easy fix once you remove the assembly--had to do it to mine twice. The second time I made sure it wouldn't happen again.
"Search" is your friend....
Good luck

 

Easy fix. Below is what you need. There's an install video provided too.

 

Many thanks

 

I used that same part from Amazon on mine. Problem solved.

 

Does the manual fuel door lock with the doors? If not, even with the capless system it wouldn't be too hard for someone to drain a tank, and with 36 gallons... I don't think I like it.

 

No it doesn't. As for the other part, it would take a fairly stiff pipe/tube to get the valve open to siphon anything out of it. If you'll look under your rear seats, should be with your jack and stuff, you'll see a hard plastic spout...not sure what the "technical" term for it is...that you have to use to put gas into it if using a gas can. One would need something like it, or as stiff as it, to drain any gas out.

 

You're not siphoning from these tanks even using the approved funnel.

 

A locking lid also keeps anything foreign from being put into the tank, without you knowing it was opened.

 

If this is an issue, you need new friends.
