Default Gas Cap Cover won't stay closed
The cover (not gas cap itself) no longer has any tension on it.

I noticed it within the last few days that it will no longer stay closed.

Any ideas on how I can fix this.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks for the help.

And believe it or not Bucko, I did use the search...before and after the question...

I didn't find anything... I guess I'm not using the correct key words.
