    I've had my 488 for 3 days. The gas tank cover keeps popping open by itself. At least 2 or 3x per day. When I close it, I can hear it click into place and nothing seems loose or broken. I think it only happens when I am driving because it doesn't open overnight sitting in my garage. Please help!

    Is there any chance you could be catching the release button with your leg?

    I am pretty sure that's it - I am a big dude and I think I've been nudging the button with my leg when opening the door. Was going to delete this thread but figured there had to be some other big idiots out there with the same dilemma.
