Fuel Door Quick Fix?!?!
This past winter my fuel door was frozen shut. When I pryed it open the plastic piece snapped and now I can't find the piece to repair it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this without replacing the entire door?

hmmm......this wasn't for a fuel lid door, but one time I was missing a little plastic tab for a cup holder, so I just made a little replica of the plastic piece out of jb weld and connect it to the plastic that was left from where the piece broke off and it worked great. Maybe this could be a solution.

fuel door
I ran into the same problem. I went and got JB weld and 1 min epoxy the problem you will have is makeing sure it in the exact same spot when you set it. make sure you etch the exact same spot or it will be crooked when you replace it! I did mines last year and it is still holding. you have to be very carefull when you fill up because if you put to much pressure on it it will give; this is just temporary. go no the internet get one for $35 like I am going to do. God Speed.
