I forgot to post about this, happened a few weeks ago during my second fill up. I had just started pumping gas when half my fuel door randomly just fell to the ground...
Appears the door itself is comprised of two pieces, the hinged piece of plastic that actually clicks in and covers the spout, and then a flat piece of plastic that is painted the body color that snaps into it (This is what you see from the outside of the truck). The flat body colored piece is what fell off, it appears to just slide into some small clips on the hinged door and has a single little tab that secures it, just preventing it from sliding back the way it went on. Seemed like a very fragile attachment method and like it could easily just fall off again.
Haven't had any issues since, just seemed very odd when it fell off without me even touching it and the way it attached didn't instill much confidence in its ability to stay put in the future. I'll see how well it seems to be secured at my next fill-up.
Anyone else experience this? Guessing mine must not have been "clicked in" very well from the factory or something.
