My gas cap no longer "clicks" when I turn it closed. I have to kinda feel where the cap engages to keep it in place but it never feels "locked". I stopped at an O'Reilly's on the way home from the gas station today and after a laborious search we found nothing in stock that fit.

I read some posts from several years ago and many of the part links were dead. However searching by part number I found this on Amazon (probably cheap Chinese crap)...thoughts? Or this one the O'Reilly website (listed as in stock)...

Thanks

Are you saying it does not lock in place when rotated clockwise? If this is the case, I had ame problem. Let me know and I'll two finger type the solution.

Sorry to hear you're having so many problems with your car, but you will get there.

Correct, there is no clicking or stopping when it turns. I have to "feel" when it's the tightest and stop on my own. The new ones would make a funny "Grinding" sound but would easily come loose again.
