When I bought my car my gas cap cover has always been slightly sunken in. I just want to know what part I need to fix it/shim the cover out to be flush with the body.



If there is a better place to post this let me know! I thought it would be seen in here the best.

 

See that square part on the left hand side? There's a little stick that's supposed to be there that pops in and out that's what's broken. I'm sure you can buy a replacement or you could just jb weld a rod about 1/2" long on there and it would do the same thing. Mine was like that when I bought it

 

i think thats where the lock is supposed to be that locks the cover when the doors are locked. Almost ripped mine off when i first got the G and couldnt figure out why the gas cover wouldnt open.

 

Lock & Cable Assembly Fuel Door - 78826-CA01B - In stock - $26 shipped

 

Lol, when I first got my G, I remember just standing there pressing on the gas door over and over wondering why the damn thing wouldn't open

 

The lock isn't broken its just the little popper that's why it's sunken in

 

Yeah it's all 1 little unit nothing big like a latch or door lock actuator would be

 

you sir, have a pm

got thie piece in the mail yesterday!

to replace this do I need to take out the whole spring setup from the trunk?

 

I will never forget the time I went to the gas station and my cover wouldn't pop open and people looking at me like I stole the car . When it wouldn't pop open I had to use my credit card to slide it through the cracks to pop it open untill I just removed the poper that locks it in place and left the spring loaded rubber stopper and ever since then it works great and I know ill never be stuck trying to put gas in my car again . ��

 

Haha same EXACT thing happened to me at a shell station

 

Same here. When I got home I just took the side lining out and unplugged the actuator until I got a new one to replace it with.
