problems with the gas door lid lock
Has anyone had problems with the pin that keeps the gas door locked sticking to where it doesn't pop back out to keep the gas door locked? Is there an easy way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

i have the same problem sometimes...so when i need to get gas...instead of pushing the latch lever all the way down...i easily push it down just enough to get the gas door open....try it and see if it works...

I haven't found a fix for it yet, I just use a key to pull it back out.

Hmm...I'm going to have to try this. The pin does look a bit off center. Thanks for the suggestion.
