Default Gas cap rattle!

Does anyone have experience with an after market gas cap that doesn't rattle? This stock one is making me crazy.

I love the flush mount but don't have them. Eventually or maybe Santa can leave it under the tree.

My stock caps rattled, most any after market flush cap wont.
I went with the pop-up type.

I took a elastic hair tie from my wife and placed it under the chrome cap? It is the perfect size and has stopped the annoying rattle. Really works well... Remove the gas cap and slide it up over the threads up to the chrome edge. It take the slack out of the cap and stops the rattle.
