370Z gas cap door problems

freddiebear

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?

My doors broke off in the car wash, they popped open when it was rinsing and the arm on the sprayer snapped it off at the hinge. The door should not open by just the pressure of water hitting it.

Now this makes a little more sense. I would never put my baby thru a carwash, so Imma safe

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. But if they pry it then is different.

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?

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?
