Rich, it's not the gas cap. You probably didn't notice that the gap may have been different with the stock cap. It's the dash that's off centered. Mine was also. Leave the new gas cap on and remove the 3 dash screws. Ignoring the tab toward the seat, lay the dash on the back tabs and see which is off slightly. I had to slightly bend the left one up so it would sit correctly on the two. If you get it closer to even, mount the front screws first and tighten keeping the dash even. Then snug down the rear (seat) screw. It took me 2 or 3 adjustments before it was just perfect.
