    Gas tank door broken AGAIN

    just curious to see if it's just me with this problem..
    the small clip thing inside the gas tank came off / broken again.. so when I flip up the tank opener it won't open. =(
    this happened to be before and had it fixed at dealer, but it happened again.. am i doing something that may cause this??

    Your opening the door WAY to far open... bends the clip out of shape :\

    i put some think double side tape on the pin and slid it in, so that solved it but every time i pop it open i push the pin to make sure its still in the same position, or location so i don't have to replace it again :)

    I just stick my key in there with my shirt so it doesn't scratch and pop it open. I found the part number, I dont need the link anymore :)

    Re: Gas tank door broken AGAIN

    This actually happened to me today. I went to the gas station and tried opening the fuel door, but it wouldn't budge, though I saw this thread later on. I took the car to the dealership and they fixed everything since my car was still under warranty. Go SCM! :)
