gas cap cable broke
 

anyone replace one? i was getting gas and i heard the cap fall on the ground the cable dry rotted :-(

You can buy a new one from SunCoast, Amazon or ebay for a few bucks. Haven't heard of one breaking before.

What a coincidence. Mine too just last week.

Mine as well.

Mine too a few months ago.

Crazy, mine snapped just over a week ago.

Can I pin mine to prevent this from happening? Is it a gas cap out procedure?;)

F$#k it, I'm going to go break mine now.

I'm part of this club. My gas cap refuses to be contained.

I just received the one I ordered from Amazon

DIY Tip:

Where the cable attaches to the metal body work, you need a needle nose pliers to pull the plastic expanding screw up away from the hole. Grip tight before you pull. It looks like it might be a Phillips head metal screw or Allen, but it's not.

I looked at that one. You bought the set where it comes with the new cap as well. I keep wanting the Alluminum look one but then realize it is only me that ever sees it.

I just set the cap on the window above the wiper. I think that;s the same thing I did when I was driving my Dad's 911's in the 70's.

That is exactly what I have been doing.

Me three.

I changed mine over the weekend. You don’t need to buy the clip. It’s a lien release clip so just push the center of the clip and the pin will fall out alllowjnf you to remove the stock clip a reuse. $20 and life is good again :-)
