why does fuel door break?

my Gen3 door broke this week. granted, it's been cold, but it wasn't frozen. it just broke right off.

is there a way to make the replacement a bit stronger?

If any of you have one to sell, please let me know (I just posted in the wanted section, too)

now, repeat after me: "Reading comprehension is important."

I was asking why the fuel door breaks and just mentioned that I had a posting in the wanted sections. They are not the same.

But, that little graphic made me laugh!

So, why does the fuel door break?

may have something to do with the fact that it is plastic. The door handles are the same way--they WILL definitely break with use.

Just go to a salvage yard for the replacement, and with any luck you will find the correct color as well.

also try ebay
