What's it called
I am not sure if all Vettes have this or not. I have an 82, when u open the gas tank door there's a black rubber flap that lays over the gas cap area. It has Corvette written on it. Does anyone know the correct name for it. I am trying to replace it, but don't know what it's called.

Is this what you're looking for?
I'm not familiar with the 82, but going off your description this is the first thing that came to mind.
Gas tank filler neck boot.

Thank you very much. I looked on Ecklers, the one they have available isn't the same shape as mine but it says it will fit so I'll give it a shot. Interesting, I didn't know it actually had a purpose. Thought it was just cosmetic. Makes perfect since now. Thanks again.
