Tim & Linda, Is yours covered by warranty? Check with your GM dealer
first, it might not be as bad as you think. Send Linda and see if you
can get it for dealer cost.

I have not lost a gas cap in 50 years, nor scratched my car. Your
"invention" brings to mind what some marketing mogul once said, "You
will never go broke underestimating the public."

The gas caps I have had have been lite weight, plastic, no sharp edges. How
do these scratch the paint? Never noticed if there was a holder on the door
or not, never have been concerned about it.

yeah duh just think about the hardness of the elements, hmm plastic gas cap
vs metal car, Thats like saying glass will scratch diamond. And the only
way plastic could damage paint was if it was intentionally done.

Methinks he world be better advised to replace the gas cap on the filler
tube after refueling. For one the vehicle will run better and the paint
will be unaffected LOL

So, I came up with this idea, received patent/trademark pending
protection and manufactured several thousand. I call my invention The
GasCap CaddyT.

Check it out. Take care.

How in the hell could you have patented something that GM has installed
on
cars and trucks since the early 90's? My '94 Silverado has that function
built right into the gas cap door - straight from the factory.

He just patented the idea of a stick on one, nothing major.

A piece of shoestring and a couple of knots worked for me. Been there for
eight years. Total cost: $0

So you found the shoestring
Otherwise you might have to buy one that would raise the price - say -
$0.05
If you take it to a GM dealer to ask them to do it you have to pay for
the lift - $100
Rinse for the repair guy to clean himself afterwards - $10
administration costs - $200
insurance - $50
total - $360.05

Then because the repair man forgot to tie more than one knot it breaks
after a few weeks use
