Title: fuel cap magnet is gone, the rattling drives me nuts lol
Post by: mattress on July 11, 2007, 08:06:07 PM
i have a 99 gs500e...
I'm assuming the gas cap is supposed to have a magnet that attaches to the little flap that covers the keyhole. 

Well mine is gone, and it rattles like crazy...

I couldn't think of any fixes off hand, so I was gonna see if you guys have come up with anything in the past

Thanks for any help

No magnet, it's a spring... IIRC
