300 limited gas cap holder

Discussion in 'Chrysler 300' started by The Commander, Mar 23, 2005.

  1. I have a new 05 300 Limited and one thing I noticed is there is
    no gas cap holder in the gas cap cover. All my cars, even my Hynundai
    has a place to hold the cas cap while fueling.

    Can any other 05 300 Limited owners confirm if theirs has one or not?

    thanks!

    not sure on this model but my car had a small clip on the door, you hook the
    plastic cable ( gas cap to car body) over the hook

    Most Chryslers have a plastic string which is better. The cap just hangs
    from the opening.

    How is that better? So it just rubs against the paint? The best set up is
    the old Benz cradle on the backside of the fuel filler door. The second best
    is the BMW gas cap stand that doesn't let you close it without putting the
    cap back on.

    So you don't even have to think about putting the cap in a silly "cradle."

    And in 12 years and 220,000 miles worth of fill-ups, my wife's car
    doesn't have any marks on the paint from the plastic gas cap hanging on
    its plastic tether.

  6. Steve has gotten the point..

    my 03 Hyundai Elantra and my 02 Dodge quad cab BOTH
    have cradles in the filler door that you screw the cap in so that
    it does not it the paint or car.

    So my question once again, specific to the Chrysler 300 Limited
    does anyone have a cradle. Of course my cap has a plastic tether
    that keeps it from being lost.

    I want to make sure my car is not missing a piece.

    thanks!

    None of the Chryslers I have ever owned have ever had a gas cap cradle.
    Instead, all came equipped with the tether.

    I examined my paint with a microscope. No gas cap paint damage yet.

  10. yes there is a plastic strap on the cap, but it hangs down and
    could scratch the paint if not careful.

    I am going to come up with a modification then since nobody
    has an 05 300 limited I can compare too.

    thanks

    Can you go to a local dealer and look at a 300 that is on his lot?

    thanks
