I couldn't find this part online? This is the door hinge for the gas cap door. It won't allow us to pop open the door.

I have to put a soda bottle and move the seat forward to keep the gas button depressed to unlock the gas door.

Thanks!

pretty sure its part of the body, not sold separately.

i would be inclined to repaired what youve got. perhaps find a way to pop the hinge pin out. and insert a new one.

Unfortunately the hinge is sold as a unit with the gas door. The assembly is riveted in to the body.
The unit comes unpainted and requires you to order special rivets from lexus. There are two approx 1/4 rivets that need to be drilled out and replaced. I had to order a heavy duty rivet gun to handle the job.


Hope this helps

Good to know cmontel727. My door isn't broken, but I want to replace it at some point. In Oregon (like New Jersey) we aren't allowed to pump our own gas and the jack*** gas pumping guy ran into the door while it was open and creased it. Gah!

Did he or the gas station pay for the repair?

No...I didn't notice it until a couple weeks later when I was filling my gas myself in Washington. By that point I figured it was too late to go back. I know it was him though because I saw him run into it.

Had the same problem with mine the other day.
Mine opened but I needed a credit card to pull it all the way open.

When it was finally opened I just pulled the gas door (hinge side) toward me.
now it pops open a bit easier
when it is closed it does show that it does not line up but I rather that than not be able to full gas.
