i tried to search this but had no luck finding anything here on son, i am wondering about my fuel door to my gas tank
this is the story, i was at the gas pump getting some gas and when i pressed down on the handle beside me to open the fuel door it worked fine and i could fill up. Now ive tried to put 10 bucks in when im at 3/4 tank and the fuel door wont work, so i cannot put any gas in the tank
i am wondering if anyone knows how i can fix it? the easiest way without prying open the door, i do have a parts car but its latch is screwed up to and wont open
please help son im going to need fuel soon!!!

if u take off the carpet in the trunk, you should be able to reach the latch mechanism on the inside of the rear quarter panel, u might be able to activate/open it that way.

well i managed to figure it out really quickly, i got my friend to press the latch while i took a flat head screw driver and pushed the door open, it ended up being a loose clip :oops:
