So somehow or another, my fuel door wont close and just kind of flops back and forth going down the road. I inspected it from underneath and could see that the little pin/spring connector has somehow broken off the mechanism that turns with the door opening and closing.

Has this happened to anyone else? Could I just purchase a new painted fuel door w/ mechanism and install it and be good to go? I wouldnt think it would be that expensive. Or is there a way I can fix the mechanism some how maybe? Please give some input. Thanks

Cory

 

Peel and stick velcro tab.

 

Had the same thing happen about 2 months ago. I took it back to the dealer and they had the part in stock. Reused the same door, just replaced the plastic housing that the fuel filler line bolts to. I think it was about $30. The technician pulled the housing out and tried to fix it, but the part the spring hooks to was broken off.

 

you can get an aftermarket chrome door for under a hundred bucks

 

here you go, some replacement doors available at these sites;

Gas Doors & Caps - Billet Gas Doors, Locking Gas Doors, Locking Gas Caps and more
Amazon.com: fuel door: Automotive

 

thanks for those links

I've been looking for them on eBay for the new ride...but only been finding the Chrome Stick-on things
