Ever since my first fill up I have been less than happy with the design/material of the FX gas cap retention cord, as well as the gas cap retention brackets on the fuel door. The cap cord seemed unncessarily stiff, the retention brackets seemed flimsy at best, and what is normally a simple task of unscrewing the cap and placing it upon the fuel door always seemed to be an ergonomic challenge for me.
Well, today I have finally had it. While trying to gas up in single digit weather I could not open the fuel door, and guessed correctly that the forward element of the cap retention bracket was hooked on the cap cord. I could not maneuver the cord off of the bracket, and the only way to open the fuel door was to snap off the bracket! Simply un-freaking believable!
I cannot imagine that I am alone in these experiences, and would appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks.
