This worked extremely well. The trick is to pull it through at an angle that leaves the thickest part of the zip tie end at the back of the hinge, so the fuel door doesn't close on the zip tie, and it closes flush. My fuel door is symmetrical and opening and closing for the first time in years.
I might be crazy but, couldn’t you just remove the screws and take the assembly off, fix it with the zip tie and put it back on? I still have to do mine. Just asking in case anyone has tried it.
Maybe you could remove it. I would be curious to know if it comes out easy enough. But in all honesty I don’t think it’s too difficult to install the zip tie without removing the whole assembly. Let me know how it goes either way!
I love "McGyver Fixes!" It's always fun and interesting to see how people solve issues. Great fix idea, looking forward to more videos!👍🧠👏

Excellent! Happy to hear it!
Hey, I'm the guy from the other video that asked you for this. That is awesome you uploaded it! Definitely subscribed.
Happy to do it and thanks for the follow!
Yes, still an issue. Our 2020 fuel door has the same poor design and broke off.
