Angry Fuel door broke, which part do I need to fix?

So at the gas station this morning and it was cold as hell. Of course...the alloy fuel door was frozen shut just like last winter . I pulled the release in the car a couple times in a row, then went back ready to break off the ice and pop it open with a screw driver...

Well evidently it didn't release and I popped it open too hard. I broke the latch and now the damn thing won't close all the way. It's always ajar. What part do I need to fix this? Something specific, or an entire new alloy fuel door?

It looks like you need #6 "Hook"

They don't give part numbers from what I can see though.

Take it to the dealer and see if they will fix under warranty.

I had that same thing happen to me last year. Took it in, and the dealer took care of me.

this has happened to me 4x within the last 2 months, I dont think they hold up well in the cold. Now i am out of bumper to bumper by like 60 miles...I really hope they will fix it under warranty since it has broken 3x before in the last 2 months...

I've had mine freeze shut too. You really need two people to pop it: one to pull the lever, and another to press on the fuel door just left of where it hinges.

That, or you need to have some monstrous ape arms.
