Can someone take a picture of the gas tank cover? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I accidentally left my gas tank cover open during the carwash and it bent the latch. I pliered it back into somewhat working condition but I want to make sure I do it right.

So if someone can post a picture of the inside face part of the gas door that would be awesome! Also is the gas tank cover fully flush with the body or is it slightly dipped in? I'm guessing it should be super flush, but I cant seem to get it that way.

Thanks for the help!

oh and I forgot to put the cap too, so a bit of water could have gone in. I heard people say use "heet" tank dryer to remove the water. Drove the car 10 miles without any issues though

You should never use "touch" type car washes. I had one of the ones that moves you truck slash the wall of of my driver side tires.
