Daft question, but i cant see how you would get it open if you did that.

Anybody know the answer, cheers

its easy, just get your finger nails behing the cap and open it.

The cap has a rubber seal all the way around it which leaves a 5/6mm gap to the main body of the car.

Mines been done 4/5 years and I've never had an issue, the paints never cracked and it doesnt take any longer than a normal cap to open

Mine was made slightly on the cock. It doesnt sit flush to the bodywork, which thakfull, makes it slightly easier to open lol
