Default How to fix petrol cap retainer on MS200T

The little cap retainer thing on my 200T must have worn out.
Its like a little plastic stick that goes into a ball socket on the gas cap.

It now just falls out rather than clips in, so i keep dropping the cap on the ground when refilling.

Any tip for a fix?

thx dave

Funny, I don't like those little retainers at all! They get in the way when refuelling & tangle around the pick up in the tank. I rip them out on all my Stihl equipment when I buy it.
