Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for the lid (cover) of the tank it is a body part attached with simple fasteners. The exact procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the car and the type of attachment.

1) Before assembly

• Carefully compare the new lid with the original piece: shape, dimensions, type of attachment, edge fit and any holes for fasteners.
• Check product codes (9638184280 / 151796) and KSY color to see if they match the design you want.
• Inspect the part for cracks, broken handles or deformations that would impair the fit.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Normal set of screwdrivers / bits (according to the type of connections)
• Plastic crowbar to remove trim/covers (if needed)
• Cleaning agent and cloth for cleaning the contact surfaces
• Or new fasteners if the original ones are damaged

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and work in a well-lit area.
2. Open the filler neck area (access to the tank cover lid).
3. If the original part is damaged, check that there are no parts of the fasteners or connecting material left in the vicinity.
4. Carefully release the attachment of the original lid (screws/clips depending on the design) so as not to damage the surrounding paintwork.
5. Remove the original cap and set it aside for comparison.
6. Clean the contact surfaces and the surrounding area from dirt that could prevent proper fitting.
7. Put the new cap in place and only ‘dry’ fit it first – make sure it sits straight and doesn’t rub anywhere.
8. Assemble and secure (replace screws/clips) – proceed evenly so that the part does not deform.
9. Check joints and fit to surrounding body parts.
10. Repeatedly open/close (if the hinged lid is included in the assembly) and check that nothing sticks.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Check that the cap is firmly in place and there is no looseness in the attachment.
  • Check that the part fits correctly and protects the filler neck area from dirt.
  • After a short ride, visually check again that it holds the mount and nothing has come loose.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Conversion of designs (different grips/shape): always compare the part with the old piece and verify the numbers 9638184280 / 151796.
  • Paint damage during disassembly: use a plastic pry bar and work carefully.
  • Not landing due to dirt: clean the landing surfaces before assembly.
  • Loose fitting: check the condition of the original clips/screws and verify strength after installation.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Mechanical damage (impact, careless handling during refueling or repairs in the vicinity).
  • Cracking of handles due to the age of the material and repeated stress.
  • Paint damage from abrasion, chemicals or weathering.
  • Loss or theft of a part (especially with easily removable covers).
