Installing the Cover

1. The Template

Removing the old bezel was as easy as getting underneath it with my fingers and popping it out. After that, just align the included template and tape it in place


2. Drilling the Holes

Using an 1/8 drill bit, drill five pilot holes at the crosshairs on the template then make the holes larger using a 19/64 bit.


3. The Retaining Clips

Push into place the silver inserts (retaining clips). The instructions said that some taping may be necessary but they just snapped right into place.


4. Attaching the Chrome Gas Cap Door

The gas cap door has posts on the back that slide into the retaining clips. Push the gas cap until it goes in as far as passible before the plastic fender gives.


5. Completeing The Attachment

The instructions tell you to use an L wrench to put in the inner holes of the new bezel in order to be able to exert outward pressure while exerting inward pressure on the gas cap door until the rubber seal is touching the fender all the way around. Me, I used a screwdriver.


6. Finishing Up

When your happy with the seal, you can install the included hole plugs on the inside of the new bezel and attach the original cap. You're done.

I have to be honest...That's not my shirt..

 

I'm just curious, why mine has the locking gas cap?

I think that cap is an aftermarket add on...Cuz, see the hole in the bottom where the original cap's lanyard when through?

 

Oh, maybe the dealership changed it.

 

Dennis all this time i thought it was you taken the pics
it was you wife or girlfriend ?

 

Naw...After 28 years to the ole ball and chain..all my many lady friends are only of the plutonic type..Like Heather for example[sm=smiley2.gif]

 

My dealer had changed mine to the locking one too....

 

Is there another website with photos for the install?
