Excellent fit. Nice to have a locking cap.

Fit my 84 westy well. Seems to be secure, although it is mostly made from plastic.

Fit as advertised
Fast shipping as usual
Always good to work with ya’ll

Perfect fit! Fast delivery.

Perfect fit

Fits perfect

Works good. I hope it lasts along time. Last one got broke in the shop.

It's grate, fits nice and tight.

It’s not as heavy duty as the original but it fits nicely and I’m sure it will last for years.

Locking Gas Cap

Because I lost the original, how? I don't know, just gone. This replacement came out of the inordinately large box and fits good and snug. Comes with two keys so plan on making copies (because we loose keys more than anything).

Great cap

left my old one at a gas station... this one you can't loose unless you loose your keys because it stays attached!

Perfect fit. This is the 3rd one I’ve bought. Fitment is great. Thanks!

Works great

I have actually had the cap for a few years now and its held up well. No issues.

Looks good. Works as well as the original.

Works great!

I've had this baby for years and it's been perfect.

Rocking’ gas cap

Worked perfectly as designed

Perfect

Just the right product.
Not easy to find locally.
Good to be sure the right gas cap could be sent quite quickly.
Thanks.

Does the job perfectly

I bought one off of eBay first (I know, I believed it might actually fit because the vendor said it did). I was wrong. I must say, the "original" (I bought my Vanagon 12 years ago) worked fine until the only key I had for it broke in to two pieces. I hope this will last at least another 12 years, and have no doubt that it won't. And now I have two keys.

Gas Cap (Locking) Vanagon 2WD

Not the same, but as close to original as you can get. Comes with two keys. Key is removable when cap is removed if you turn back to lock position. Wish there was a way to rebuild original utilizing original Vanagon key, so you don't have to carry another key.

Gas cap

Great cap. Nice fit and lockable

Not same quality as OEM but gets the job done

It fits, It works, but it feels much less substantial and solid compared to the original equipment stuff. Wish there was a source for the real deal. I miss my old factory cap.

Nice Cap

I like that the key is a little larger and more robust.

Works perfectly

Perfect replacement for original cap. Glad Gowesty sells it because I left mine at a gas station

Great product

Awesome

As_described.

Good product, had one for years

After having this locking fuel cap on my Vanagon for 6 years, it is still in perfect working order. No cracking seal, lock works properly. Great cheap security!
