check to see if the plastic piece that is holding the gas cap to the car is not in between the little black clip where the door meets the car. That caused an issue for me a few times.

the door on mine needed to be taken off and put back on in a more appropreate place ... i didn't think this was something that was common lol

maybe the door moves as the car gets older? haha

there is a spring on the door, sometimes it flattens out after time and needs adjustment.
