Just put this on and it's not squaring up properly. Am i doing something wrong? Defect? Any tips? Thanks

Why is the background metal section blue-shouldn't it be the color of your car?

Hahaha.

You stopped before it clicked. It's just like your gas cap, turn it til it stops and then a bit more and it should "click" like your gas cap does and then it will line up straight.

Got it-you changed colors on your new 992 not your old 992.

That didn't work. No click. May be defective.

Sorry that is how mine works, I just went out and tried it again. I turn about six spins, then it stops, right where yours is stopped, and then I turn again and it clicks down with the same feeling as my gas cap and lines up straight. I got mine from Suncoast. So yes it sounds as if maybe yours may be defective.

Thanks for taking the time out. Will do an exchange.

When I checked my coolant, I too couldn't get the cap to seal right. For my stock coolant cap and I assume for your upgraded one, you have to REALLY twist super hard to get it to click. When it does click, it will be parallel to the oil cap. I had to force it so hard that I thought I was going to break something or break my fingers before it finally clicked into place.

Hmmm. Maybe I don't have enough finger strength but I really don't think it can be closed any further. It took a massive amount of work to break it loose after tightening. Does yours come off without a hitch?

If you get dried coolant on the thread it's a royal pain to twist or to remove. I sprayed a tiny bit of wd40 on tread and cleaned excess dried coolant and it worked like a charm with smoother action for screwing on and off.

Mine was on super tight as well. I think I had to use a mallet or something to knock it loose and putting it on took as much force to make it click. I tried 3x and literally thought I was going to break something before I got it to click back into place on the 3rd try
