Replacement Subaru Gas Cap Lanyard / Tether
3D

Did your Subaru's gas cap lanyard / tether break? Ours did shortly after buying it... Not the end of the world but certainly annoying. And to make matters worse you can only buy the whole gas cap and lanyard assembly from the dealer!
Not satisfied with that option, my wife and I created this replacement gas cap lanyard. It's 3D printed using polyurethane and it's both stronger and more flexible than the original.
This replacement lanyard has been sucessfully installed on 2004-2012 Impreza, WRX, STI, Forester, Outback and Tribeca.
Installation is simple, but please note you do need to re-use the existing pin on the gas flap door. If you just need the pin, the part number of the pin is 42037FE060. You can find it on Amazon and your local Subaru dealer should also have it in stock.
If you don't want to print your own, I also offer these for sale here: https://www.makerneer.com/product-page/replacement-subaru-gas-cap-lanyard
