Please Check your Filler Door
Just a quick question for you all. If you have the filler door (OEM or installed by yourself) is it flush/tight to body of the jeep? Got my new jeep last week and filled er up on the weekend and it seemed loosey goosey and not flush to the body of the jeep. Nothing gross, but I thought this should be immovable.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Mopar Door here. looks to be a little less than 1/4" gap off teh paint in the back. Mine is tight and does not wiggle in the bucket.
If yours is loose, there are 4 screws around teh trim ring that could be loose. the bucket snaps into place with plastic clips is all.
hope that helps some.
fwiw, I ttired 3 other fuel doors and the Drake fuel cap...ended up with this for better quality. used a locking plastic cap inside. teh drake one kept giving me a dtc on my 2012, so had to remove it.

i wonder if there is supposed to be some sort of liner or gasket on the back side of the lip?
i need to find one that is put on stock or if someone can look at theirs and let us know.

Sub'd... bought mine used with some sort of filler door already installed....don't know the brand (all black with magnets to hold the door shut) I too have some slop and wiggle on the ring and it bugs me but I haven't bothered with it as of yet, interested to see where this goes...it may save me from breaking something while I "learn as I go"

Very timely thread. I just finished installing the Mopar one five minutes ago and notices that there a small gap between the body and the door and it has a little play in it - like others have said, nothing major or likely to be noticed by others but just enough to annoy me. Oh well - I'll just have to get over it.
