How do I unlock the fuel filler flap of the Opel Meriva B?

To be able to unlock the fuel filler flap of the Opel Meriva B when it is locked, you need to have an object that acts as a lever to be able to move the inner wheel arch cover. By inserting your hand inside, you will need to pull the latch that blocks the door from the inside, as shown in the video. The fuel flap can be opened by pulling the latch from the inside. The problem depends on the motor of the mechanism: by going to the dealership it will be possible to replace the entire piece, which will be under warranty for two years and will allow you to refuel in peace.
