i'm sure a lot of ppl have this question, and i couldn't find it on search, sooo....here it is.

my gas lid doesn't close all the way. when i close it, a little part hangs out and it looks damn ugly like that. [not clean at all]. i don't know exactly what piece of metal to bend to fix it, but it seems that bending it either way doesn't work. what can i do or how do i fix it? | | <---that's the gap, big, yeah? it sticks out

 

Well what model Honda do you have first off?


I had teh same problem with my 93' civic and it turned out to be the switch the popped the lid out. It was sticking so all I did was lube it with some motion lotion and its working fine now.

 

anyone else? bump.

 

Post pics.

 

which part is sticking out, the end of the part where it opens, or the end of the part where the hinges are at?

 

the end where it opens. seems like a typical gas lid problem.
*edit - i'm at school right now, and it's overcast...i'll try to get pics up later on today.*

I had the same problem on my car. I bent all that stuff hoping to fix it. In the end, I just messed up my cap. I just lived with it when I had my car.

Here is a bad pic, but you can see how it pokes out a little bit..

 

might wanna correct your sig fowler

 

I have the same problem.
it pokes out...

 

i think thats deliberate
if it is, thats funny

 

yeah.. lol.. saying school is important, while having a grammatical error in the sentence. f0wl3r 0wnz

 

ill take pictures and show you guys how to fix it

just gotta get my usb wire back for my camera.

 

Shut up!!! Ha ha... I didn't even notice that

Anyways, I go to an art school...so grammar doesn't matter, okay?!

 

alll you have to do is push that tab thingy back and it will close tighter .. thats what i did on my crx anyway ??? try it .. just a chode hair at a time you dont want to get it stuck!!

 

craig, them are some nice wheels. looks sweet

 

It's the screw that holds the gas lid in. Loosen it up, adjust, and play away. Eventually you'll get it.

I had the same problem on my Integra after a paint job.. LMK if that works.

 

oh, that's a pretty clean car...oh my gawd!! the gas lid sticks out! aahhh...ugly ugly ugly! 5 lug? pbbbhtt.. j/k.

that's how i feel about my car. poking out gas lid makes me and my car look

 

how do you adjust it?
I messed with it for a bit, and didn't really figure it out. I didnt try hard tho.

 

sometimes my old accords lid wouldnt open at all , i had to play with the gas llid lever for like 2 minutes to get it open
