hooking it over the gascap latch would have worked but the tether is too short, and hanging it over the door just puts it on a different painted surface. The ziptie method eliminates the whole problem :D

I can't speak for others: but the nearest honda dealer to me is an hour drive, and they won't order it unless you pay for it first that means a possible 2nd trip. And yes I am a cheap SOB why buy something if you can make it work and look ok at the same time without spending hardearned $$$$ thats what its all about

Thats a very good reason not to buy a honda part for a Scion. It might even have a honda symbol on it too. kind of like when they put chevy motors Oh I mean engine in a Ford streetrod. THAT'S JUST WRONG

I just ordered two of the Honda fuel cap holders from my local Honda dealer today. One for my xB and one for my RSX. The 366403 number in a previous post and on the macconect link is NOT a Honda part #. It is some kind of reference number. The parts guys had some diffficulty crossing it to a part #. The actual part # is 74423-SP0-000 and it's for some model of a Civic. The dealer charged me $4.43 each.
The macconnect link does have good mounting instructions, which I'll be trying as soon as my parts come in.

$3.99 + 1.95 s/h
Though the pictures look like a swipe from the macconnect instructions:

I think I might order that part. But first to wait for an email telling me where they are from and how they ship. They dont have any of that info online. Is that kinda strange? Would yall trust them?

I ordered my cap holder from the parts dept. at one of my local Honda dealers yesterday. Unlike my Toyota/Scion dealership, the Honda place was dead; nobody there. The sales manager stepped out of the shade and met me as I opened the door of my new xB:
He said, "new Scion xB?"
I said, "Yes."
Honda guy, "How do you like it?"
I said, "...Love it; I need your parts dept."
Honda, "OK, right this way."
I explained that Scion owners had found that a Honda Civic gas cap holder was a perfect mod for the xB. He had no further comment.
It required a special order; I'll have it in 10 days; cost: $5.64.

I received my gas cap holder from UpFront Marketing today. It's not the CR-V holder as pictured on their site. It's a generic gas cap holder with the adhesive mounting tape already applied so no need to cut off tabs and apply tape as with the CR-V one. Rather than being a half-circle it's rectangular with a half-circle cutout to hold the gas cap. The mounting tape looks a little thin but I have to wait until the deluge stops around here before I can install it.
