have a 2018 RX450HL and there is a holder to hold the gas cap when filling the tank. However, no matter how I orient the gas cap it always falls off and hangs down against the body of the car. I am concerned about scratches, etc on the body of the vehicle. is there a trick to placing the gas cap in the holder?

 

I find it a bit tricky to get the cap in the holder. You have to line up the rim of the cap with the 1/4 circle area in the door - it pops into place.

 

 

If I'm not mistaken, there are two indentations in the holder that the cap seems to fit in. The smaller quarter circle (closer to the filler tube) will cause the cap to fall off easily. You have to pop it into the outer slot (closer to the door), and the cap will sit solidly in the holder.

 

 

This is not one of the best engineering feats by Lexus!

 

Exactly what I do.

 

 

I have no issue with it. easy to put on and take off.

 

 

Not my problem - no self serve in NJ😁

 

what ?? you guys can'tt pump gas ??
car, motorcycle, anything ??

why ?? lol

 

NJ is one of two or three states that do not allow self serve.

 

I also have no issue putting the cap in the holder. Works just fine for me.

 

I also feel that holder accumulates a lot of dust. Not sure I want the cap picking it up and putting it in the tank. My old Acura had a little cable with a **** sticking out of the gas tank cap. You placed the **** on a slot at the bottom of the gas door and the cap hanged in the air. Never fell and the gas cap did not touch anything.
