Dust, Ash & Wind create Art on my hood

I know this is a weird thought.

I wonder if 987's come with gas caps attached so they just hang when removed? I've had other cars that had places built in the gas door to hold the cap when removed.

My 2000 has a hook and tether.

Thanks. Another reason to aspire to a 987 one day (white of course)!

blue2000s:

Interesting. Maybe I have the hook and just don't realize it. I definitely don't have the tether. I do know my gas cap was replaced before I bought the car due to a recall. I have a sticker on the inside of the rear trunk stating such. Any indication that your gas cap was replaced?

Thanks,

It's definitely stock, here's a pic of the tether and hook and one of the tether attach.

Thanks very much for the pictures. I have the hook, but never noticed it since I don't have the tether. The next time I'm at my local dealership I will see if they can get me the tether, or a new gas cap with it already attached.

My gas cap was replaced before I bought the car due to a recall. I guess they just tossed the tether with the old cap. I know about the recall because of this sticker on the inside of my rear trunk.
