take of the rubber "string" which attaches it to the car. tie some string though the cap and make a look. next get a nail and glue it to the flap, make sure you put it in the right place to the door closes.

done, you have a cap you can now take of and hand on the flap.  :laugh:

nice  :laugh:
its still a bit stupid that on £20k car you have a problem like this!!  :angry:

I let it hang - the cap that is.  Didn't realise it might scratch the paintwork  :shocked:  I'll be checking for any damage now but I haven't noticed any. I'll get a pair of plyers and cut the bl00dy thing so it can come off completely - like on the Mk2 GTI.
