After ...purchasing my new Subaru Impreza I was like probably everyone who ever purchased a new car. . . don't park within 50 feet of ANYTHING, vacuum daily, wash weekly, no leaning on the car, defiantly no food in the car. It has been a few years and most of that has changed, but the first thing to break on my car, still haunts me. It wasn't something major and the car still works fine, but the gas cap tether just hangs there now, limp and broken. Plus I have to be careful not to scratch the car with the broken tether.
I looked into fixing it and found that Subaru didn’t sell just the tether for the gas cap, you have to buy a whole new gas cap! Not that I am against spending another $24.95 on my car, but all I really wanted was the $2.00 tether. I didn’t need one bad enough to buy a new gas cap and have ended up just living with it.
I have, like so many other Subaru owners, just left the broken piece on my precious car for far too long. But not any more! As the powers of 3D printing unite I now have a new gas cap tether. My car is whole again and I can go back to the OCD of shiny car syndrome all over again.
If you would like a more step by step process and not just a file, check out the "Instructable" I wrote for this too.
