You can pull it out carefully or use a scewdriver for assistance & pry it out....

 

I will be purchasing the black aluminum screws from the site mentioned earlier. I'll post response once I receive them just in case anyone is interested in picking up some. I'll work on reducing size to 6mm as well.

 

Anyone have trouble with getting the fuel filler to stay tight? The two top taps do not draw it in close enough ! Either i am missing a gasket between the fuel filler and the body or this thing doesn't fit.
Had dealer install twice after they broke the first one! they also scratched the paint near the fuel filler on my fiance's 09 rubi! she was livid!

 

Great write up. I know most people don't want to spend money on a fuel door, but I've had to dig mud out of the OEM filler pocket before I could refuel, so I know the advantage of having this.

 

Did you ever get the screws?

 

Alright this is sad. I got a fuel door for Christmas and tried to install the thing and just couldn't get the old one off. I managed to get the two easy clips pushed in and then worked and worked trying to get the third until finally the third one just broke off. So i figured no big deal since it would be replaced by the new one. So from there i pulled and pulled and could not get the old cone to come off. whats the key? what is the deal with the rubber seal? I don't know what to do with the rubber. any help would be nice. also I'm interested in the black screws if anyone has them. ill send paypal for them if you have extras.

Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone

 

I would take a set. Thanks a million.

 

For all the Gappers!!!
I instaled the new Mopar filler door today, and had to work pretty hard to get all the tabs to fall fully behind the thin sheet metal. I also had a small gap and while looking at it, it just did not seem right for an OEM fit. And this is what made me look hard into the tabs. With the cover (Door plate/4 silly chome allen bolts) off, you can see the tabs very well. Make 100% sure all the tabs fall behind the sheet metal. The botom to are fixed in place and ridgid and need to go in 100% first then the top two push tabs go in and also seed behind the sheet metal.
When all my tabs fell 100% behind I had zero gap, OK you can slide a sheet of paper behind the collar but that is about it. I will post a pic when the wife gets back with her jeep.

Any Black screws out there that will not rust? I would like a set please that fit 100% and look like the OEM's (Except black).





Sorry for the dirt and had to run back out to make sure those were not scratches and they were just hairs. Sorry for the dirty shots but they show how the collar is tight to the truck even all the way around. Enjoy.

 

Just a note for the guys with Chrome going to black.

I got the black door to replace the chrome on my Jeep. To do this all I had to do is remove the four cover screws and replace the chrome cover with the black cover. Less than 30 seconds.




btw, I have the chrome fuel door and the chrome rear lights up for sale.

 

Were you able to get it together? Did you pull the cap off first? The rubber gasket should come right off but it is tight as to keep spillage in the cup. Once the gaket is off tne old cup then it pops on into the new cup that the new door will screw onto.
