I feel like an idiot with this pop-up gas cap

How do you open it. It clicks and depresses about a 64th of an inch 😄

Re: I feel like an idiot with this pop-up gas cap

So I had something similar, and for the first month or so when I would press down, it would pop-up and then I could twist it out. Unfortunately for me, after that first month, the pop-up action decided to stop working and I ended up where you "might" be currently = (
Hope I am wrong - good luck,

Thanks bro. Appreciate the response, I called LMC and after talking to an order taker (twice) was told to check out you tube video which had zero info. I'm calling again and will probably return.

Push in on the button and twist it while it's down. Then the button will pop up and allow you to unscrew the whole cap.

Tried that bro. Was about to put a press on it but returned it instead. Waved the white flag. Thank you though.
