The fuel door on my gen 2 prius has a broken spring. It's not the clip...its the spring. It has been very stiff.. Anyone know what parts I should be looking for? Wasn't able to do a good search of prius chat.
The spring that pushes the door open? In my gen 1, I was able to buy that part on its own from Toyota and put it in. It was clip-shaped. I'm not sure if gen 2 is different.
For a picture, go to Amazon and search for B0C9TKR42L. The part is $10 from there. It is even cheaper from a dealer: Fuel Filler Opening Lid Spring Assembly #77360-35040 | Autoparts.toyota.com around $5 near me, but you might have to order it. Are you sure it is the spring? It also wouldn't open if the cable broke. Broken Fuel Door Cable | PriusChat
It's the hinge pin rather than the clip. It actually looks like a hinge pin from a normal door hinge, except it is narrow (maybe 3 mm diameter) and it bends at the top and bottom of the door. It's not clear to me that this part comes with a new door...some I've seen online don't seem to have it included.
