Default How did you guys quell the rattling fuel door button?

I installed the push button in the fuel door on my Glide and have noticed that it is starting to rattle. What did you guys do to kill the noise?

The spring that pops the door open can be bent to remedy the rattle, I have seen other guys put two springs on the door.

I loved the push button except for the rattling/buzzing.

I tried a few things and ended up returning it.

Sucks because it was really nice to have the short time it was on.

I just saved my money and turned the lock around backward. Now you just push the back of the door and wala, it opens.
