370Z gas cap door problems
 
I have broke off (2) gas cap doors on my Z, so far, in my opinion it is a bad design. It takes little effort to open the door. Has any one else had any problems?

Broke the locking mechanism once bc dealer didn't tell me it locked with the car. If the car is unlocked, not sure what part would fail?

All they have to do is push-in the gas door when the car is unlock. :tup: But if they pry it then is different.

I agree that the car must be unlocked for the gas cover to be, I mean, how hard would it be for them to put another proximity detector there, with like a 30" range?

I just went and looked at my gas cap. You would really have to screw up to break this thing.

+1000000

I don't really understand how some of the things that happen to people on the forums can even happen in the first place. I mean, some things are physically and/or logically impossible and yet people find ways to do it.

One dude dropped his key down a random hole in the dash then went MIA when he tried to go in after it and detonate a tactical nuke to get the key out... I mean... how the hell does this stuff happen? :icon18:

i think some ppl have no patience and when something doesnt work perfectly everytime, panic sets in and nukes go off.

"the gas door doesn't open...do i...try it again or maybe unlock the doors then try...orrr try to rip the crap out of it? lets go with the last option."
