Having issues with my fuel door release. Small piece of plastic that holds the release line in place broke, so the line keeps falling back into the trunk, leaving the gas door open. Been searching for a DYI to replace the line, or to find a way to jury rig it so the release cable stays in place, but haven’t found anything on this board. Anyone know of a thread on another board that shows how to replace the line, or a way to rig it?
i might be able to pull the line off of my parts car i just got if you need a new one. i’ll see if i can get it off.
edit: got it off and in one peice, just so you know if you want it to replace yours it’ll be a bit of a pain to install, you’ll have to remove the driver seat, rear seat, and back driverside plastic interior panel. and pull back the carpet.
email me at da9tegra@yahoo.com I’ll sell it to you real cheap
Sure that would be a great help, if it’s not too costly to ship. Would you happen to have a spare trunk release? That one is gone too
yep i have both, they weigh next to nothing so shipping shouldnt be to bad, less then $10 to ship bith release’s.
i will work on the trunk one tommorow for you
question for you though, exactly which peice broke? the plastic release on the door itself or down on the floor by the seat?
plastic part right on the end of the release cable. it’s the part that when you slide the cable through the hole in the beside the fuel cap, and then you turnt he cable so it goes perpendicular against the hole and holds it in place. i don’t knwo if that’s the best description or not…
Am i the only one that wants to shave the fuel door and get a cell?
