Gas Door Broke

5th time since March.... anyone else have a subwoofer and had this issue? Never had it in any of my other cars and I'm using the same setup I've always used....

Just the spring that supposed to keep it shut. You know the part on the main body of the car that has the rubber boot over it that when you shut it you feel it click. It's doesn't click anymore...

It's the vibrations from your subs which weakens the spring and eventually it fails. Think about if you stood by the gas door on your car and constantly flexed it hours on end for days and days. Vibration wave from the subwoofer in truck does the same thing. I have heard fuel doors rattling when cars drive by bumping their bass. Eventually you wear the spring tension out.
