This happened to mine, but, I was aware of the issue with SPOON's "mad-tight JDM glue"

that they use. It actually only took about two or three days for it to fall off. However, that sucker isn't coming off now after I used some "mad-tight USDM two-part epoxy"

To the original thread starter, I have a Fluidyne radiator cap that I don't need. I'll sell it to you cheap and it has a slightly stronger spring over stock. IM me if your interested....it's just sitting in my tool box collecting dust.
