Fuel Door Installation
#181
Mine doesnt sit flush either. I was thinking double sided tape. I bought my metal fuel door for 39 bucks off ebay.

Just installed this "Mopar" gas door today, was a PIA to get the rubber seal back on the filler neck. Also, the clips were supposed to snapped snuggly against the inside of the sheet metal to hold the unit secure and flush against the body did not clip in all the way and i had to use some force to push it in further with a screw driver. As others have mentioned, the 4 screws to attach the outer doors were very weak and warp easily, like butter.
I don't know if this was a real Mopar door or a cheap chinese knockoff but build was not good quality like OEM, cheap thin plastic insert.
I got it here: Mopar® Fuel Filler Door w Jeep® Logo 07 14 Jeep Wrangler JKU 4 Door 82210609AB | eBay

the oem fuel door is powder coated metal, with a replacement houseing of the same oem plastic as the one you take out, but with the door already attached with 6 hex head screws.
