What I do have is a slightly different design: (and mine don't whack the car)


That is what I have too.

lol........i'll have to check mine out when the cover comes off.

CHECK THIS OUT

BTW............did you know there's a cup holder towards the front passenger side of the center console??? i took a friend of mine for a ride after having the car about 1 1/2yrs and he was like, what's this? so he pulled on the little nub and out came a cupholder! i could not believe it was there the whole time, especially with a trans temp gauge in the other cup holder between the shifter and console. i've always had to hold my drinks.

later,
Dave

There is also one in passenger door.
Notice the bump out in the map pocket just behind the door speaker? Its not a great cup holder but its good for those fountain drinks.

Mine is a 99 and the strap is too short as well. Oh well.

dd and all, if you have the short cord, you can still hook the edge of the cap on the button....

I wish I had one. I always notice little scuffs when I'm detailing from where the cap hits the panel when I'm filling up.

i can't tell you how many caps i've left on a pump after filling my truck doing that! always did that, or put it on the tire and then ran the damn thing over after forgetting to put it back on!!!!! at $11-$13 bucks a pop, it get's rather aggravating. but now i screwed a strap to it and it hasn't happened since. but i am out nearly $75 in the last 19 months!

later,
Dave

I noticed it on my car when I first got it. But, I was let down when the cord wasn't long enough to reach. So my gas cap just hangs down while I fill up.
