I was replacing the black plastic piece you see here and when i took out the bolt that holds it in, the black pokey thing that is responsible for holding the fuel door closed retracted back into the body.

Anyone have ANY idea how I can pull that sucker out?

the bolt metal? Try the little magnet pole thingy. Its only like $2 at autozone.

Oh...sorry its late and didn't understand the post.

Can you fit anything in their?

if it fell INSIDE the fuel system i cant think of anything except to dismantle it and drain the tank, if im an idiot which is mostly true, you should be able to get it out with a SMALL tip screwdriver ( the ones that are bent 90 degrees on the tip ) sears should have em.

OKay......elaborate....What fell in plastic part or metal part? I dont think it fell in the fuel tank. DID it? Explain

No your fucked https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif

hopefully its not small enough to clog anything in its way................. i was gunna suggest a lil net thing..... but i dont know how you're gunna get it in there

No nothing fell in the fuel tank.



If you look at your fuel door you'll see a black pen size tip that retracts on a spring, that's the mechanism responsible for holding yoru door closed.



That's the part that retracted itself into the car.



Well i just spent a solid hour and a half ripping the rear interior out and fixed it!!!!

Thats good to hear.....I knew what you were talking about from the start, but had no clue on how to help you out.

Was it easy to get at once you had the rear interior panels off?
