I have been paranoid of people tampering with my gas tank since I brought my H2 home from the dealership and a friend walked up, opened the gas cap and said, "I bet a Twix would drop right in there." I have had locking caps/doors ever since. E |

What is up with people. if it doesn't open I wouldn't be like "I shall push the damn thing DEEPER which will make it go open." Reminds me of the topic where people were all "lol didn't know how to open the fuel cap door" I don't know why but I knew these things without even reading the manual. Probably because I never had a car with a button to open it in the car. |

The only problem I have with mine is that the tiny little pin falls out everytime I open the gas door. I just have to put the pin back in before closing door.
In regards to the dealer not showing certain aspects of the car to the customer. I'm no car expert, But I felt like I knew more about the Z than any dealer I spoke to. I spent 10 minutes convincing one that the 350 Didn't have a back seat, I gave up when he said "mmmmm.....I think they maaaaay have............" |

I won't lie I broke the lock mechanism on mine as well because I didn't know it locked with the car, I like someone else mentioned thought it was just stuck so I pushed a little harder and POP there went the locking mech

I haven't had any issues with the operation of my gas door, but my question is, why lock it at all if it's so easy to break open?

I've come the conclusion either I did, or the dealer did the first day he filled it up. Really not a big deal to me if my gas lid locks. Not worried about someone stealing my gas or putting sugar in my tank. |
