I would be more concernd about someone pouring some crap in my tank than stealing my fuel

I will keep the stock key, gives me a piece of mind.

Changed to the push button a few weeks ago, good improvement over the keyed door.

I have the locking one and am ready to replace it with the other. The button is about 3/16" wide and flush with the locking mechanism. It is almost to push in with a finger and I have to use a key to push it down. I am going to replace it with the non-locking one very soon!

I like mine; it was on my 2010 and now my 2011. No problems, shuts good, opens quick and easy.

A little adjustment goes a long way.

Mine rattles too,I even went as far as stuffing little pieces of sponge under the button,to lessen the vibration .But I haven't noticed the rattle since I installed the 4" Rineharts.
