I used plastic and steel so it was a bit of a hunk of plastic. The price is also a little high for what you get, hence the four-star rating. In the event this part fails, you can't open your fuel door with out two people or a little bit of thought. Listed below are Method 1 and Method 2. The two individuals are When the latches on the fuel doors are released, one person holds the latch release up while another uses a flat object to open the The following methods are available for use The front of your wife's shoe can be used to hold the fuel door release in the up position, then a flat object can be used to open it. In comparison to the time it took me to install this part, my time for opening the package was more than double.
The tension of the springs is rapidly lost. It has been under a month since I installed this on my 1998 Camry, and the fuel filler door will not For it to work, I had to open up the spring a bit. I can pull the filler door open now that the door has popped open about 1/4". It is unlikely that this part will last any longer than For this prediction, there is no need for a crystal ball. Please also note In order to get the plastic tab to snap into the gasket, I had to trim it Place the filler in the I have to deal with that issue as well. It is easy to resolve this issue if you get the original OEM part. Spend a little more money and be done with it.
The part is identical to the OEM part.
With the exception of a small screwdriver to pry out the old piece, there was no tool required to install it. There is no need to remove the fuel door at all. The following steps are required to install it First you put the hook end on the ground, then the tabbed end fits into it. When adjusting the tabs, it is easiest to not have the door open all the way, but rather to have it closed by about 1/3 of an inch so you don't strain Two are better than one, just to be safe. In the first one, there was no end in sight. This may result in me never using the second one. Just in case, it's better to keep it in the truck.
I have a 2004 Lexus RX330 and the belt fits perfectly. Even before I ordered this, I was able to open the fuel door, but only so far that my actuator wouldn't catch on the actuator hole. thought we needed to add silicone to the fuel door hinge so it would open even wider, so I was completely unaware that the hinge spring had been removed. With silicone soaked in the hinge, I sealed the door. Now the door doesn't swing open at all after I tried it again. As a result of my research, I realized it was missing the hinge spring. I placed the order, picked it up the next day, and it worked like a charm! A wide swing opens the door. The door seems to freely swing because I sprayed the hell out of the hinges, like a harlot at a no jockstrap convention Not to worry.
When Amazon sent me an email informing me about the replacement spring, I didn't know it existed Let her know about it by e-mail. Despite its flimsy appearance, this part is very functional. I got a great tip from another reviewer regarding not fully opening the door before installation, and that worked wonderfully for me as well. Installation of the new spring was much more difficult than removing the old Let's move on to the next step- U. S. Postal Service now does all the work for you.
But this component did the trick. This is not exactly what you expected, but it has been tested and works well. You will just have to remove the stopper (I think the This fuel door spring worked like magic after I installed 30060) and set it up! A little adjustment of the spring is all that is needed to fix the problem! I purchased this spring despite the fact that it doesn't seem to match the 2010 Toyota Sienna, but I took the risk anyway.
I like that this fuel door spring assembly can easily be replaced, but it will have to be replaced several times, from what I've seen, throughout my ownership of the vehicle. The tab of plastic that holds the spring to the clip is actually what holds it together. In the event that it breaks, the spring falls off and you cannot open the fuel door alone. This crap is not something anyone wants to buy at a dealer. You can buy several of them at Amazon's price. My name is Mary Beth. In all, there are three spares. One is in the car, one is at home, and one spare is in the spare tire carrier. Put it into action! It will be worth it in the long run.
In an attempt to fix my 2013 Lexus ES 350 fuel filler door that would not open, I went online to look for a fix. As soon as I figured out what part I needed, I went to Amazon to see if they had it. You'd expect Amazon to have done that, There may be a slight difference in price between this part and going to the dealer, but this option is much more convenient, and the price is comparable to what the local auto parts store would charge. It was a breeze to install! As a matter of fact, it took me more effort to remove the old broken part of the filler door than to install the.
