Fuel door wont open

I went to put gas in my car, pulled the lever and it clicked and everything but didn't open. I pulled it a few more times and nothing happened. So i jammed a pack of cigarettes under it propping it up, and went and hit my fuel door and it opened. Ayeee.

If the spring on the inside of the door is broken, just get one from any 95-99 DSM sitting in a junkyard for cheap.

I'm sure it's the clip that pops open the fuel door, the dealer has them for like 5 or 6 dollars. I've bought three of them already :/

No dealer nearby, was going to order the clip, but forgot. So I did this. Works every time and it won't break EVER!
