Gas cap filler door problem

Hi,

Hope someone can help me with this. I was going to get gas yesterday and noticed that the door didn't pop open when I pulled the release lever.

I figure something that pops the door open must be missing, but can't figure out what it is/was. I was hoping someone can help me cause I'm not sure where to begin. Local dealer in the area doesn't know what the part might be or if they even carry it.

I might be able to rig something up if I know what it looks like so if anyone can snap a pic, i might be able to fix it temporarily. Anyone good at finding part numbers of what this is would help me as well.

Thanks!

on the fuel door next to the hinge there is a piece of metal with a hole in the middle. You put the clip on the raised metal piece. Hope that helps.
