This one will work as the factory orginal. Just make sure it's the correct one for your car.

Not sure without knowing more about car. Does this cap match the one specified? Also have you done any modifications to the filler neck? Are there any obvious signs of decay with any gaskets in the proximity of the filler neck? Lastly you should only tighten the cap about two clicks.

So far, this is the only flaw I've found. The threads on the cap are too flexible and if you over-tighten (like I did) the cap get's stuck or stops threading. So far, I haven't found a good replacement. I'm looking around for a plug instead of a cap, but the opening is a bit odd shaped. I'll let you know if I find an easy solution, but for now I just have a small rag rolled up and jammed in the hole. It's not a solution, but I had work to do. lol

I just removed mine again to test it and found that it can be removed relatively easy without any issues. Good Luck!

As far as I know, the cap is not removable. You should contact the seller or manufacturer about that.

I have the same problem as the others here. I have to use a still-son wrench to get mine off. I have applied pool lubricate to the lid but it has not helped. It would be interesting to have the manufacture respond to this problem on this forum. How about it Amazon?

When I first got the pen it was very hard to open. I had to pull super hard to get the cap off. Just keep trying has hard and you can and over time it becomes easier to get the cap off.

So glad you asked that question. I just got my unit and have been trying to take the top off for the past 15 minutes. Finally looked here and was relieved that it's not just me. Finally I got it off - no secret - just brute strength. :-)

I am not familar with EZ caps, but the gasket is not glued to the caps that come with the bottle. You should be able to replace the gasket.

The tip from the factory is on extremely tight. Be patient, I found using a 6-pt wrench rather then the tool sent with it, to remove the tip worked. Good luck

Use a screwdriver to wedge down the side of the cap, and pry it out. The cap has a large flange at the bottom that keeps it secured in the ball. You have to force that flange to get it out. Then shake out the light/battery cage. Pay attention to the orientation of the battery cell, for which side is "+". To get the cap back in will seem impossible. What I use is common silicone spray. You can get it at a hardware store. Spray the cap with the silicone spray and it will be so slippery you will easily be able to squeeze the cap flange back into the ball and seat the cap.

I haven't had any trouble with mine, just have to make sure it is secure to your cap....

I've had no problem just pulling the rubber tip off -- I've had to do it twice since the first inch wasn't enough. If it just won't come off, then I suggest you send it back for exchange, or money back.

I found mine was hard to get off too, but when I took a firm hold of the top and just pulled strongly on the head, it came directly off, straight up. You have to show it who's the boss. (smile)

I can't be of much help...my daughter said that she just took the cap off with no problem and used it. She has since lost the marker, so I can't check it out for you. Maybe you got a bum marker? Sorry!

Yes, like other replies, I had the same problem at first. I saw a picture showing that the separation is just past the clip, which was helpful. I have heard that they get looser and looser over time, so the next question we will be asking is how to get the cap to stay on.

I had the same problem and emailed the company. The caps at the end of the swivel actually come off. I thought they were molded metal but they are plastic. Pop them them off and tight them. Good luck.

To remove cap, rotate it in a clockwise direction about 5 degrees. should come right off. To replace cap, reverse procedure.
