Question Fuel door button

Added the smooth push button for my fuel door. This was a result of having to have my wife rescue me because I forgot my key at home!!! I like the button, but do not like the rattle it creates. Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Pete

any harley key will open the gas cap and yur can get a push button one at the dealer that will lock it looks just like the one you took out but you can just pust it down to open if it is not locked

I have the lockable push-button but I wish I would have gone with the smooth version. I find that I never lock it and its not that easy to open since the push button part is really small. I have to use the very tip of my finger. It can be a pita sometimes, especially if I don't want to take off my gloves.

This was without a doubt the most useless HD accessory I ever bought. Hard to use because of the small button size, and quit working at all in a very short time.

Exactly why went to the smooth one after buying the lockable.
