Gas cap cover popping open
I have noticed that more and more my cover is opening by itself, obviously the catching mechanism isn't working properly. Is there any home remedy suggestions out there. Thanks in advance

I had this on mine about 18 months ago, a bit of silicon spray into the mechanism restored it and It hasn’t happened again since.
