A dumb little story...broken fuel door -_-

zaimer

I'll make this as short as possible . The other day I stopped at the gas station on my way home to fill up. I usually have to fiddle around with the pump because it likes to shut off before the tank is full. I ended up spilling a little down the side. No big deal, I'll wash it off when I get home. I get home, lock the car, and go into the house to get some stuff to wash the gas off. I went out to clean the fuel cap off but I couldn't get the door open. I figured oh, this is nothing too unusual..I rent cars frequently and I've had several instances where the fuel door doesn't like to pop open. So I gave the fuel door a little lift after it wouldn't pop open a few times. It opened very easily but a piece of plastic fell out (locking mechanism). . I know in my previous Z (350z), the fuel door had a lock that was released from inside the car. I had no idea the 370z's also had a fuel door lock.

Is this an easy/inexpensive fix? It's not really a big deal and obviously won't stop a fuel thief but I don't like the idea of it not being there
