In this video we show you how to install a Mopar Fuel Filler Door on our 2015 Jeep Wrangler. This is a great cosmetic upgrade to that factory gas cap and we think it really improves the look of the jeep.
You can pick up one of these on amazon.com: amzn.to/2dRauiu
Everything I'm using on my Jeep can be found here: www.amazon.com...
The install take just under and hour and all you need is a Philips screw driver and a little motivation and it's and easy upgrade that looks great!

It is a really easy job if you do a couple things after removing the tail light and the gas cap.. You do not need to disconnect the tail light wiring. It is long enough to set it on the bumper. Press out the two clips on the old plastic filler assembly you can see nearest the tail light. Then you can pull out the entire assemble by pulling a little toward the back of the jeep and out. Comes our easily. The grommet will come off with it. Fit the grommet into the new assembly and add a thin coat of grease to the inside. Add a very thin coat of grease to the outside of each of the four retention clips. Line up the pin with the hole in the body and press the entire assembly in. The grease makes it very easy to install. Snaps right in place. Five minute job!

It’s not just a superficial upgrade. It’s important to keep that area clean. Jeeps can go almost anywhere and getting mud/dirt into your gas tank should be avoided. Thanks for the vid.

@dennisc8664 6 лет назад

Thanks for the vid! I just ordered that door. After looking at several brands I like this one the most. Tech tip: when you have tight fitting rubber gasket like that, spray the rubber with some 303 Aerospace protectant, wipe it down then install the gasket. The 303 revitalizes the rubber makes it stretch better and it’ll last longer. You can also Armor All if that’s what you happen to have. Personally I prefer 303. Thanks for doing these videos!

I had no idea you only had to take two screws out to take taillights off. I’ve been taking all four out 🤦🏻‍♂️

@bonzrh68 Месяц назад

Thank you very much sir, you save my day. A friend of my offered me to stay in his vacation house and use his Jeep Wrangler with the same gas cap, it’s funny how tricky this cap looks like, I tried to open it but I can’t and don’t know which side, I never drive this kind of vehicle before with this kind of gas cap. I’m embarrassed in the gas station because I don’t know how to open it and cars behind me were waiting. So I pulled over to the gas station parking to figure out, then I search in RU-vid and I found your video, and it saves my day and embarrassment!😅 Thank you so very much!

@rat8bug 5 лет назад

Thank you for the instructive video. And I read all the comments posted; thanks guys. I just installed the Mopar version on my 2016 JK. It was an easy install; following a tip to spray silicone on rubber gasket. Once the old cover was removed, I installed the rubber gasket onto the cover first (unlike the video and OEM instructions). At this point, the Mopar cover just snapped into place, very snug and no gaps. Yes the Mopar version is more expensive than the other knockoffs. Your choice. Love the look.

@Kipster501 6 лет назад

this was so helpful...I was a little intimidated when I realized I was going to have to remove the tail light but I have no doubt I can by this...thanks....

@TrailRecon Год назад

Happy to help!

@danielpeterson-dctpc9668 6 лет назад

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. Your tip on the rubber "O" ring was so on point! Because I watched this video and heard your warning about the difficulty putting this on, it only took me 30-45 seconds instead of the possible much longer time that it could have taken me for the trial and error that you went through. I appreciate your efforts and videos! Keep up the great work!!

@privateinfo4820 Год назад

I've done multiple installs/swaps and I've never had to remove the rear taillight - get a small plastic tool behind a clip (find one) and carefully pry it in and out, once one is out it's simple to get the others.. saves a lot of time

@donjones4372 5 лет назад

Okay I fixed my fuel door today nice and tight to the body. If you take outer ring off ( one with the fuel door ) you will see slots in the back ring. This allows to put two metal screws in housing so the slots fit over them and replace outer door with hex screws provided-and all is nice and tight, no movement !

I just got mine on and you was right about how difficult that rubber o-ring was to put on

@jpetton 2 года назад

Great video! An old "Body and Fender" trick is to spray rubber gaskets with silicon spray. We used it on most rubber/plastic trim pieces for quick installation.

@balablue1717 6 лет назад

That background music was very annoying but the video as usual was awesome. Every bit of addition is making the Jeep fully functional and sophisticated.

@bobbertels959 7 лет назад

Literally was the 2nd mode I did on my 2016 JKUR (GraBars was the first) for the very same reason. Amazing how a simple change can make such a big difference in the looks.

@TrailRecon 6 лет назад

@coopdeville1172 6 лет назад

Just a couple of things to mention about the video... When removing the existing filler housing, just get one clip from the inside of the fender loose, you can then slide the housing around until the other clips release ..... no need to remove the rubber grommet or the filler cap, simply spray some WD40 or a touch of lubricant onto it and pull the filler housing out from the filler tube, it will slide very easily off of the filler tube. Now you can remove the gas cap tang with the tip of a screw driver and your fingers to remove the rubber grommet. Lube the grommet on both sides, place it onto the new housing, flare side toward outside, slide the housing over the fill tube... make sure that the pointed plastic indexing tip is directly over the hole on the left side... if it's not, it will snap off when you push the housing through the filler hole and if it does, there is nothing to keep the entire housing from turning..... Good Luck !!!

Great tutorial. The only thing I did different, which I think was a little easier, was putting the rubber gasket on first. Looks great for something so small

@dadthejedi Год назад

"... Looks great for something so small..." That's what she said. 😅

@Jeeptrailandcaveexplorer Год назад

Yes your right. I watched his video step by step and he made a mistake caused my engine light to come on and had to take it back to the retailers to see what caused the engine light to come on a new jeep. He should've fixed his mistake and put a fresh video. Causing me issues and was very pissed off due to him. What idiot puts a mistake on the video when some people prolly pausing video found step by step. He should've done the right thing. I'll never listen to this guy on anything else. Now they have to smoke it to see if issue is fixed. They even said this guy is an idiot to put this video on without proper instructions

I had difficulty with o-ring and took it and placed in hot water on stove for a couple minutes. That made rubber very pliable and it popped right on . Thanks for video the directions that came with fuel door were comic book style with just pictures. Very difficult to grasp

@dualcyclone 6 лет назад

I just pushed the o-ring through before removing the old housing, and then pushed it back from behind. Was a tiny bit fiddly but only took a few minutes. So glad I bought an official fuel cap cover, I had an after market one before this, and it was total junk

@c7uk 5 лет назад

Worth mentioning that since you have the cap off there will be petrol fumes throughout the install - open the garage door, remove any sources of ignition and be careful not to make any sparks ⚡️!

@Harpoon2theRescue 5 лет назад

Thanks OSHA.

@nicholasgonzalez1347 4 года назад

I just put one on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited and if you put the gasket in the cover first then slowly fit it around it goes much quicker. And instead of trying to pull it out just use a blunt object and push it in then when you get the cover off it’ll save you a lot of time. I’m 17 and did it in 4 minutes so hopefully that’ll help y’all out

@jimfalin2209 6 лет назад

This was easy. I released the two tabs that you can see and rolled the original piece out without removing the o-ring, easy. Be cautious rolling it out because the metal surrounding the gas cap area isn't all that heavy. Putting the door/replacement in was just as easy, definitely install the o-ring on the new unit before putting it in.

@appleguy1986 7 лет назад

Great "How-To" video, I must confess that Ana bought me one of these last year for Christmas 🎄 2015 and it is still in the box. Between moving into a new house and keeping up with SDJC stuff I have yet to do the install. That said, you have motivated me to get er done before Christmas 🎄 2016 😁

10 minute install. Great video. Oring is not that bad if you remove it after taking cover out of jeep and reinstalling before putting new cover on.

@adamniswonger8015 7 лет назад

Use alcohol for the rubber gasket. It works like a lubricant that will quickly dry. Makes the job of installing the o ring very easy.

What brand is that roof rack? I’m looking for one very similar .. thanks man..

@majorgeeks 5 лет назад

Like others, the directions with pictures aren't that great, so here I am. For anyone with a JL, the LED taillights are a single, long plastic screw (10MM or torx) behind a plastic tab located behind the rear power outlet. The rubber no longer needs to be removed, the Mopar door I bought came with the rubber installed. About 3 tabs and it came right out. I loosened the two that were easy to reach first, then the lower one with a long screwdriver to reach it.

@Wine-N-Steak 4 года назад

I just watched a similar video and the guy discovered that the new cover had an extra(unless) tab that stuck out on the top side. He cut it off than filed down the rest that was lefted sticking out.

@DudeGuy1973 7 лет назад

I attempted this but with a cheap knock off version non Mopar...and it was terrible. I will have to pick up the Mopar and get it done...love the look much better than the open one.

@TrailRecon 7 лет назад

Ya, I contemplated getting on of the less expensive ones, but reviews were mixed. Pretty happy with the Mopar part.

@danielgustwiller5943 6 лет назад

Tried to put a mopar unit on. Got through the hard part getting everything apart and then the clips broke on the new one while putting it on. Not as easy

@scottsadventures7707 7 лет назад

put this same one on my jku. I like the metal also, it will be even nicer when I don't have to clean the snow and ice out before I put gas in here soon. But you probably don't need to worry about that in CA. lol

Pain in the ass that's for sure couldn't figure out one of the clips until I finally realized you keep one clip stays connected and to let it hang briefly, that fucking O ring ....I had to take the cover back off, slip on the O ring over 1st over the mopar billet gas while the cover was not attached. That did the trick, tight seal now and looks great! 1st mod that I've ever done for that matter, more to come! Thanks

I notice the locating pin for the gas door on your 2 door wrangler is at the 9:00 position, I am doing this to my 2010 but the locating pin is at the 12:00 position . Unfortunately the door I received has the pin at the 9 :00 position... I was under the impression that the 2 doors were 12:00 and the 4 doors were 9:00?

@mjgrubbs1 7 лет назад

Just like to know if you are still satisfied with the "MOPAR" fuel door and how well it's weathered? After clicking on the link to Amazon in the description box and reading through some of the comments, there seems to be some consensus that while the product is described as OEM from MOPAR, that the packaging seems to suggest a product manufactured and shipped from China. Regards, - M.

@TrailRecon 7 лет назад

I'm pretty confident this one is Mopar and not a knock-off. If it is a knock-off, they did a great job. I still love the look, my only complaint is that it doesn't fit flush up to the body as tight as I would like. I push it in every once and while just to firm it up. No screws to hold it in place, just the rubber grommet around the fuel neck.

@lavachemist 6 лет назад

I have this on my JK and it is very sloppy. I'm not sure if it's just because its a few years old, but it is not firmly attached.

@andrewmcguire1466 5 лет назад

I knew mine was a knock off when I ordered it from China, like he said it looks great but doesn’t hug the body like it should. I drove 2 screws kiddy corner then just glued the matching nut heads in the same hole, looks great.

@LT-ie8wg 6 лет назад

i know its been a while from the time you did this but i wonder if you sprayed the gasket with silicone spray / lube if it would make it any eazyerto get on and just wiped it off at the end so that it does not commentate anything or would it still be a no go

@burnettcody10 6 лет назад

Just installed this and I’m wondering if you or anyone else has had, not really an issue, but where the body of the gas cover will turn and not sit quite tight against the jeep body. Wondering if there is a remedy for this. Thank you!
