fuel filler cap cover

[PhilWebster]

Hi All

Has anyone had an issue with their cover plate for the filler cap coming loose? Believe someone has tried to pull it open and i noticed when i was washing the car yesterday that the plate was sticking out slightly and a bit wobbly.when i slide it off found that one of the little molded tabs was broken at the hinged end on the plastic flap.Refitted it as i needed to get to work so had to leave it until this afternoon. I took it off again and bent the small cutouts on the plate that slide onto the plastic tabs, put a bit of plastic glue in the area where the broken tab is and it seems ok. Will have to trial it for a while but does it warrant a visit to Lexus at some point as my car is still under warranty until November? should i chance my arm to see if they would  replace it as faulty?

Nope mines fairly sturdy.

Like you say though, perhaps someone tried prying it open

with there being plastic glue on there i am sure lexus will say no

as its had a non approved repair already

they have some 300h in stock for breaking

they also have a tesla for breaking if ganzoom is looking in not sure if its his model though
