Hi everyone,


I have searched on the web high and low, and cannot seem to find the little fuel door "spring" that pushes the door outward when you pull the release latch inside the car. my "spring" broke off and I am now basically with a stuck fuel door. if I can get some help on maybe where to find such a replacement... that would be great!




please save me senpais!

 

Not sure if there's a spring. Mine doesn't always open - I use my CC. Two parts listed online for the fuel door are

BODY HARDWARE / FUEL DOOR / FUEL DOOR / RELEASE CABLE
FE0156880 - RELEASE CABLE

You're right, it's not a spring... it's more like a flat metal tab that is shaped in a way that it will act like a spring to push the door out when you pull the lever/cable. I wish they made it easy to find.......



Thank you for your input!
