Fuel Door stuck?

[valkyrie6x6]

When I bought my 2006 xB the fuel door did not open, I can hear it releasing but it does not open unless I pop it open with my key.
Should there be a spring or something so that it pops open, or opens enough that I do not have to pop it open with my key?
When I pop it open there is no rezistance when I use my key>
Thanks in advance

i think is a pice of bent metal that pushes the door open (i cant remember)
open the door and look real close at of it works, it may just need to be tweeked.
if something is broken ................. i would yall at the stealership to get it fixed
post a few pics of what the inside of you door looks like

There is no spring at all so I guess I go to the dealer to order one.
Thanks

don't order one!
make the dealership fix it under warrenty

Yeah it's a piece of bent metal but tempered so that it doesn't warp while bent! You could probably just duplicate the piece yourself!

I'll stop by the dealership today and see about getting one under warrenty

I was told it is not a warrenty item, I had to order it, it will be here tomorow. Price????? $7.03 Seemed a little high, but I wanted it.

your box in an 06?
and its not covered under warrenty?
$7 isnt a big deal anyway, glad it was an easy fix

06, but that piece is not a warrentty item, normal wear and tear.
It did not work when I bought it, and just did not get it back in the first 90 days.
It's installed, and works. 30 second install.
