I've read the few threads on installing this, but cannot seem to find a satisfactory answer. And I know $160 for an "aluminum-look" plastic part may be crazy, but I really like the look and heft, so please don't criticize this decision..allow a man his vices!

So my main question is how the heck do I remove the current tether from the pin so I can attach the new one. Has anyone done this at home successfully? I read some folks taking a hammer or mallet to it but I'm not about to do that..

Currently I have it on but not tethered yet:

The plastic cap is tethered to the plastic **** that is circled. The tether is looped onto the ****. To remove the tether, you need a hooked pick to grab the loop and pull over the ****. Not much space there, but with some patience it can be done. Good luck. BTW - mine looks great and filling up is now kinda fun

OMG Noooooo....

Always thought this was an essential. I use it every two or three days so have got my monies worth out of it...

Only thing I don't like is the Alumi-look one doesn't have the center pin to hold it when fueling. You guys just let if hang there?

I had ordered one and sent it back because of that.

Mine has the center pin ---

Yup!

STG

Huh. Maybe I might have to reorder.

Had found one in eBay. Was fine, but no pin. Will try dealer.

Thanks

Ok, I have a picky question. Can the cap be closed so the PORSCHE reads right side up?

LexVan

You're my man, Brad! Luv it. Yes it can, sir. And a proper closure.

Thanks guys. Will have to try to pull the loop over to more then. Maybe it just looks that way but I swore the tether loop was attached as a solid piece to the rivet thingie.

And pin here as well..

STG

I'm sold on it now that it has a pin and right side up logo!

Slantnose!

Going to have to get one...
