Gas Door (Follow Up), Won't Open(broke, need new) Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I'm not sure were to put this topic, so I put it in general. If it belongs somewere else, I'm sorry.

My gas door won't open. The cable must have streched to the point that it's not opening it. I have the lever opening system in case that's not common. It's been getting worse, but I never took the time to fix it. I haven't looked at it real hard yet, I just figured I'd ask everyone to see if there was any idea's before I tore into it. Anyone else have this problem?

Had a problem with my cable too last year. Though my cable wasn't stretched, it was just the cables coming out of their fixings.

What I'd reccomend is to have a look at the lever-unit (This requires taking the driver seat out and the carpet to get to it). From there, you should be able to see if everything looks like it's still attatched properly.
If the problem isn't there, then it's time to do the same thing at the gas-door end.. This requires taking the boot (or if you prefer 'trunk') trim out and checking for the same thing there.

Eitherway, you'll be needing to perform at least one of the two tasks to find the fault.

hope that helps
