Motherf'n gas door clip
 

Lol I've owned my Evo 9 since 2007 and probably went thru 40 new clips and always keep one in the glove box. Has anyone ever came up with a solution to keep these damn things from popping out after 3 weeks of use?

I've owned my Evo 8 since 2011, just replaced the clip for the 1st time. You guys must be filling your gas daily to have to replace the clip so often.

When I broke my first clip, I just Epoxy to hold it back together and it never broke again. 2 years and still going strong.

It doesn't seem to get a good bite on the metal loop that holds it in...maybe I'll try and epoxy or super glue it.

Mine broke the first day i bought the car.. put some duct tape on it and it hasnt failed me in over 2 years lol

Owned since Jan 2006, still on the original. Maybe they slam the gas door shut?

I'm on my 3rd one.

Just buy a couple of clips at the dealer-- just a few bucks a piece. I leave them in the glove box for just an occasion.

I don't know why my friend's IX does the same thing. He replaced it many times already. Mine is the original 2003 part and it's still hold fine.

On my last evo, I made a kinda fix with one of those sheet metal screw holder things you get with a co-ax speaker for the door. I wish I had a pic., but there is a way to make that work without having to by a new one all the time.

On my 8, it hasn't broken in six years so far...*fingers crossed*

Are you buying the dealer part or from somewhere else? I noticed the dealer part is a little too big. I had trimmed one side of it about 1/4 inch off and it has worked perfectly.

i just go to junk yard and take the clips from old eclipses :D

I dont think my door clip is the issue but I go in thru my trunk, pull the cord and open the gas door that way. Makes me feel more BA at the Shell station haha
