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 :rolleyes:. 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? :crap:

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 should definitly be covered under warranty, just take it in.

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...

Just don't mention the screwdriver part.

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.
