You are right,

but look this one:

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=290264519771

The thing is that is not the same model, adn I know that this one fits, but the thing is I Live in canada... they don't ship it here and look the pictures, they say '' Cap has two triangular notches on both side'' you will see it highlighted in blue...

The one that i am looking for don't seems sowing this...

I am new on this site, sorry if the url link does not work...

You could try stopping in to your local Canadian Dealership and buying it from there. Price for this item is not likely over-inflated.

The matching locking gas cap found in the Mopar Jeep Patriot accessory manual is: 05015636AB

I puchased this for around $60 and it is keyed by the dealer (free of charge) to match your Patriot. It works excellent.

hi bucket,

yes that is really bad, it seems like all the chrysler car are like that... I had a 92 toyota corolla and the gaz door was locked by the interior!!!

i was charged 69 canadian for the cap and ignition key to open it.

i think theres something in the filler neck that prevents people from stealing gas anyway, one of the members on the forum was trying to siphon gas out of his own tank and couldnt get the hose more 2 feet in from what i recall

Great price! I paid $125. + taxes, what a rip off!

From my experience working at an auto auction the locking gas caps are secure only until you try to open one with a screwdriver. I figure if someone wants to get into my tank that bad I'll give up the $20 cap vs the more expensive one.
