Fuel-Door Spring?

[HondaManDan]

Is there supposed to be a spring in the fuel door so that when you pop it it kicks itself open all the way, or part way? I have to pop mine repeatedly, wedge a key under it, or even ask someone to push the button while i pry on the door just to get it to release. It pops fine most of the time, but it is getting very annoying. Especially at 2am when no one's around.

Any suggestions? I'm going to try simply oiling the hinge system to see if that's where the hang up is.. but if that doesn't work I'll need some further help.

Thanks!

Mine started doing that..

Insure its lubricated and the hinge swings freely..

The latch part pings out the door sometimes a minor allignment causes it to not pop open...


Good luck
