Never heard of a spring loaded stopper before. Might be for something else. There should be a rubber cup held on the cap by a small slip on clip. This seals against the top of the actual gas cap. Here is a picture of the twist on caps available. Last edited: Jan 14, Hi Rick in Australia we had our own Charger it was very different from the B body you guy's have and they came with flip caps that look the same as the Charger and E body but those caps had a spring loaded rubber seal so you didn't need 2 caps just the flip one.
The normal cars had 1 cap in the middle of the tail panel then they had some rare racing cars that had a big gas tank and 2 flip caps one in each rear quarter. I looked at fitting a flip cap on my Challenger but when I found that the flip cap was actually fake and needed another cap underneath I passed and stuck with the original body colour cap the flip cap looks like a wart on the side of the car anyway it sticks out too far.
The flip cap in the rear panel on the Aussie Charger looks cool and being a real deal cap but having this style cap on the side of the car and being fake just doesn't do it for me. I have two NOS caps with the stopper like is commonly seen on the 70 Charger type cap. If you look at the Challenger cap you will see the post for the spring to attach to.
The only cap that is a Chrysler cap that would fit inside is the locking cap. Not all fliptops had the locking cap, nor did they have gas running out of them. It wasn't a common option. Most caps that are seen are reproductions.
I have seen and do have one with a cup. It came on one of my Challengers. That car has the locking cap. It is my understanding that the cup sealed the weather out of the lock tumblers. Very interesting. I have never seen a Challenger cap with any other type of seal. I also have 2 NOS caps that I have acquired over the years still in the boxes. Removed only to verify that they were not damaged and they both have the cup type seal.
No springs or stoppers. But I guess anything is possible when it comes to our Mopars I did find some theft proof screws. Last edited: Jan 15, Thanks guys, I was wrong it does have 4 mounting slots. I'm wondering if the little recess is not deep enough?? I have a 68 Cuda with a flip top no cap under that one. I am aware the challenger does have a cap under as I have that. Still not sure ,??? Maybe someone can snap a pic with their cap flipped open. Leo, I agree, anything is possible.

I believe that he is in Kentucky. He makes a very nice gas cap. I bought one for my RPU. Blue One , Sep 20, Joined: Apr 27, Posts: 5, Profile Page.

Simply put rail into position and tighten bolts back into place. Note: This mounting rail which has been specifically designed for the Ridgeline and has a high quality rubber seal under mounting rail that is "sandwiched" between the mounting rail and the rail of the Ridgeline so no water can penetrate when installed!
Question: My Ridgeline does not have a locking tailgate. How do I secure my truck bed? Answer: This BAKFlip model for the Ridgeline is no different from our other models in this regard as the cover latches and securely "locks" to the top of the bed, but it does not lock the tailgate. Dynolock offers 2 styles of electric locks for the Ridgeline that secures the tailgate closed. Details and purchase information can be found by going to the following link:.
NOTE: We are in no way affiliated with Dynolock nor are we specifically requiring you to use this lock system. This is the only lock that we have been able to find that works with the unique Honda Ridgeline Tailgate that opens 2 different ways. Other options may well be available, so should you find another option that you like better, feel free to install the best locking option for your vehicle.
Answer: Absolutely. To make the handling of the cover easier from the outside of the truck, the first "installation" panel the first panel right behind the cab of the truck that does not open comes back to meet the exact point where the gradient of the body meets the side rail The "V" point and the front sides of the bed.
This placement allows you to open the cover all the way open from the side of the truck without having to get into the bed of the truck! Question: Is this cover easily removable? Answer: Yes! Just like all of our BAKFlip covers, you simply fold the cover all the way forward, loosen up the fastening knobs the front corners and the cover easily lifts up and off of the truck.
To reinstall the cover, simply reverse this procedure. Question: On the photo I see a small ridge higher than the tailgate? What is this? Answer: As you have probably noticed, the top of the tailgate on your Ridgeline is lower than the side rails. When you install the BAKFlip cover, when closing the rearmost panel, the bottom of this panel barely touches the top of the tailgate. To prevent water from entering where the cover meets the tailgate, there is a rubber sweep that runs the entire width of the BAKFlip's rear panel side to side that slightly overlaps the top of the tailgate.
This allows water to drain off the cover and off the back of the truck without getting into bed at the tailgate edge. The cover's features in combination with the inherent design of the Ridgeline, which uses the natural angle of the bed to push water towards the back edge of the truck, makes the BAKFlip cover for this truck the most water-tight BAKFlip we make.
America's 1 Selling Cover! Revolver X2 Revolver X4. BAKBox 2. Qty: 6 Clamps. Or 8 clamps for 8 Ft. Long Bed Trucks. Qty: 2 Rails with Attached Drain Valves. Step 2: Positioning the cover on your rails: Position your BakFlip cover firmly on your rails and fold back towards tailgate to ensure proper fit. Step 4: Connecting The Drain Tubes If you have a drop in bedliner, simply run the drain tubes behind or under the liner. Are any holes drilled in the truck?
Absolutely NOT! This is a completely "Drill-Less" installation. No drilling required. Back to Top How long does it take to install a cover? Professional installers as fast as 10 minutes. Average consumer 30 minutes. Back to Top Does this cover work with "flip out" Bed Extenders that flip over onto the tailgate? The cover works with all Bed Extenders. Back to Top Do the factory installed plastic side rail covers that came with my truck i.
Absolutely Not! Will I need to remove this? Absolutely not! The cover sits on top of these bed protectors perfectly, so you do not have to make any modifications to your tailgate protector at all!
Back to Top I have a sprayed-in a bedliner that goes over the side rails. Do I need to make any modifications to my bedliner or truck before installing the cover?
If you have sprayed on bedliner, this is absolutely no problem! Just simply install as you normally would directly on top of your sprayed on bedliner. NO modifications are necessary as the cover works with ALL spray on liners or plastic side rails. Flipping and re-installing the Utili-Track lowers the track by 1 inch from under the side rails which is just enough to clamp down the RollBak rails properly.
NOTE: This is a wonderful feature!
