Subarule Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I seem to have lost the spring that snaps my fuel door shut. Anyone can walk by and open it, or snap it off (and the door itself is a replacement). I had to buy a locking gas cap this week because mine ended up missing. Anyway, where can I get one of the springs for the door, one that still has good tension on it? Subarule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Dealer only - or junk yard. That's not a generic part. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPain Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Same thing happened to me although I have the spring and the rubber pieces but I can't figure out how to attach them to the fuel door. If I close the door, it locks and I can't open it unless I have another person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And put it in the "Want" section of the classifieds here. If the dealer can get it I'm sure it'll cost 20X what it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarule Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ordered one (the spring) from the local dealer today - $7.00. A bargain. I could have bought the whole fuel door with spring.........for $70. And then extra $$$ to have it painted to match. Ridiculous price.
