Push rivet for gas cap lanyard / Tether
Does anyone have a part number or source for the push rivet that holds the lanyard / tether to the car body?
Seems unimportant but since it is still connected to the gas cap, the loose end gets caught in the door hinge.
Thank you.

Can't help on the part number, but I've read here that it's a challenge to reinstall the tether once it separates at that rivet.
My gas cap arrived loose as well. I got tired of messing with the tether, so I cut it off at the cap. Thankfully the gas flap has that cradle for the cap, so I've not lost the cap, LOL.
