That is correct SCOTI!

raggedjim, the backer does indeed help the door sit flush. The problem is it's easy to twist the hinge so that the door doesn't sit symmetrically in the opening. Also the spring tension isn't strong enough to pull the door completely flat, so it has to be aligned perfectly. All in all, it's an ok solution. I will most likely eventually go with an aftermarket filler cap if/when this one gets ripped off.
