Did you accidentally bend the fuel filler flap? Repairing it is simple and quick! Using a Torx key, remove the single screw present and leverage through the holes on the edges of the black plastic, applying pressure downwards to extract the entire black plastic piece, including the flap.

Now, remove the part with the pressure lock of the flap, disconnect the electrical connectors, and replace the lock.

Reposition the plastic part by fitting it into place with a light press against the corresponding tabs on the bodywork, reinsert the Torx screw into the bodywork, and you're done!
