It's been years, but I'm 99% sure mine is metal on metal. The cap should go on straight.

Here is a pic of mine from the side.

If the ring is loose the little tangs can be bent to tighten it up.

The Charger one opens the other way. It fits better upside down. I have called year one and will have to acall them back again, I think it is not right. It figures, the back glass was wrong and the headliner was also wront. HA ha this build will put me in the nut house.

Has the quarter been replaced? I've heard that the cap area is not recessed as much as the originals making the flip cap stick out more.
We'll save you a seat at the Nut House.
