How do you open the fuel door of a Volkswagen Jetta when it is stuck?

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 6, A6 - Years 2010-2018
Part: Fuel cap

It will be possible to open the fuel flap of the Volkswagen Jetta when it is locked by opening the rear hatch to gain access to the inside of the trunk. At this point, you will need to detach the inner lining on the right side where the flap is located. Once the lining is removed, you will be able to pull the lever of the actuator underneath in order to unlock the fuel flap. At this point, to permanently resolve the issue, it will be necessary to completely replace the mechanism, ensuring that it functions properly.
