Default Re: Fuel Tank Door

I discovered something this morn. after I was going to close the fuel door when I finished my fill up. As I started to put the door back down my hand slipped off & it went back into place very softly by itself without having to press on the paint at the tip of the door. Over the yrs. this will save a lot of touches at that same point & could show some paint wear to some degree.

Also when I shut both my hood & tail gate I release them just as they start to begin to drop on their own & the closure is just enough to get them to lock on their own & save paint wear & fingerprints. These cars are so well balanced on door closures that I am amazed every time I close one. Even the sound is of a European closure that I have never experienced with all the domestic cars I have only owned before.
