Default Gas door torn off

Yep; you are readin' it right.

Some low life ripped my gas door off; so now I get to fix it.

The plastic assembly is still good, just the panel came off. There seems to be a caulk type of adhesive on it, but I am not sure if that is from the factory or if it is a previous fix.

Any suggestions on what to use to put the panel back on? I figured gorilla glue from HD would do the trick.

Make sure the latching assembly is still working properly before you remount it so that you can fill the tank whenever you want. Would not help a bit if the door doesn't open and you gorilla glue it shut, would it?

Haha; good advice
Gorilla glue worked wonderfully. I made sure to use two clamps to keep even pressure; after that, a little time with the exacto blade to remove the excess and I was good to go!

Product approved!
