the Fuel flap is very flimsy - I bet the silly little plastic hinge has broken. Can't just "pop" it back on. Will need a new un. Lots of people have had their's break also. The replacement is somewhat more sturdy.

Well, I had to go to the dealer and considering the flimsy hinge...I also glued it with epoxy The cost was ok...No one can note it now and I think is much better.....And I know what happened to your brother....exactly what happened to me.... a careless gas station employee tried to open the door all the way, say, 180 degrees and broke it, and he fixed as he could so I did not notice it....and then ext time just fell before my bery eyes in another gas station
