Default Push Button Fuel Door 08 Models

Anyone know if they have the push button fuel door yet for the 08 models? Dealer said prior part number won't work for new 6 gallon tanks. Anyone try the older one to see if it fits?

Assuming that it's built similar to prior years...if you don't want to futz with having to open it with the key, just open the door, take the nut off the bottom of the lock, turn the lock 180 degrees so that the latch is inward and reinstall. The door will lie down just fine, it doesn't vibrate or rattle and all you have to do at the gas stop is lift it up.

I bought one and it worked fine. Just took the stock lock off, put the new one on, no problem. The part number is: 53842-00B. Just don't need to use the spring.
