My Car was in a minor accident that left the fuel door falling off. I bought a new hinge and a new spring to replace it but I still have the old door. I managed to replace the hinge alright, at least I think I did, but I'm stuck on how to fit the spring on the hinge and attach the door correctly.
Basically I'm stuck at this part. (IMG:http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c278/PatternWolf/P1000496.jpg) This is the new hinge I installed. (IMG:http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c278/PatternWolf/P1000497.jpg) The spring and the old fuel door I have. I'm going through a trial and error process right now but I don't want to push things to hard because the hinge seems kind of frail and I'm afraid I might break it. Is there a part of the fuel door that is missing and I have to buy a new one too, do I have the wrong parts? Or is there some really easy step that I'm overlooking? Any help would be appreciated. |

there should be a pin which goes through the door and then clips into the hinge? i'll see if i can have a look at mine tonight.
