ummmmmmm I have a rather interesting problem. I got gas today and I shut the gas door a bit to hard and now its stuck. I have no idea how to open it now, I tried to use the lever to pop it again but nothing

 

you'll probably have to have a friend pull on the lever while you pry it open by hand, or push on the hinge side and try to get it to pop open. if you cant get it with your fingers, insert a screwdriver (with a rag between it and the paint to prevent damage) and pry it open, shouldnt take much force. When lifting on the release lever you should hear it trying to unlock it at the fuel door, if not the problem could be at the lever itself and not at the door.

Once open see if there's something visually wrong with it you could possibly fix yourself. Its most likely the retaining clip opposite of the hinges that is tweaked.

 

use the trunk pull cord- see if that works if not--- ^^^^^^^^^

 

yeah in the trunk on the right hand side behind the cover there is a gas cap pull cord, pull on it, and with your right hand try to pop the gas cap back out, my car does the same thing

 

i would say the trunk pull cord as well. i hope you get that thing out without any damage. try the pull cord first then the force. goodluck!

 

this happened to me. use a paper clip then put something in the way so you cant push it in to far. be careful not to scratch the paint

 

so you get it yet or what?

 

Thank you for all the help sadly the damn thing is still stuck in there. I tried everything listed and it wont budge, almost like it is being held in there by something

 

gee no damage yet though right? does someone have a layout page on the gas door. see how the mechanism is and them investigate before we brake something :X or i should look at my gas door...
