How To Confirm Fitment Before Ordering
Where It Fits & What It Does
This exterior flap sits over the fuel-filler recess in the right rear quarter panel. It covers the fuel-cap area, helps shield the filler recess from dirt and weather, and restores the smooth exterior body finish when closed.
The flap itself does not meter fuel or operate the engine-management system. Its function is primarily protective, cosmetic and mechanical through the hinge and closure arrangement.
Common Symptoms Of A Faulty Fuel Flap
- Broken, cracked or detached hinge carrier
- Flap hangs down, rattles or does not sit flush with the quarter panel
- Flap will not open or close smoothly
- Missing exterior cover exposing the fuel-cap recess
- Damaged mounting clips, pivot or retaining points
- Severe scratches, dents, corrosion or paint damage
- Water, road dirt or debris entering the filler recess more easily
Why Choose A Correctly Matched Used Manufacturer Part?
A correctly matched manufacturer-produced component was designed around the original vehicle's body aperture, hinge geometry and panel gaps. This can offer a more predictable fit than a poorly made low-cost pattern replacement.
Purchasing used can also provide a substantial saving against a new dealer-supplied component. Depending on the part and current retail price, selected used vehicle components may cost up to 70% less or more than buying new. Actual savings vary, so compare current prices before purchase.
Because this is a painted used body component, always budget for possible polishing, preparation or repainting where an exact cosmetic match is important.

Estimated Time
15–30 Minutes
Approximately 0.25–0.50 labour hours for an experienced technician, provided no damaged fixings, seized hardware, body damage or paint preparation is encountered.
General Installation Sequence
- Park securely, switch the ignition off and keep ignition sources away from the fuel area.
- Open the existing flap and protect the surrounding paint with masking tape.
- Inspect the hinge, clips and fixing arrangement before removing anything.
- Access the retaining screws, clips or nuts through the flap recess or adjacent trim as applicable.
- Support the flap while carefully releasing its carrier and fixings.
- Compare the removed part directly with the replacement before continuing.
- Transfer only reusable trim, tether or small hardware where required and compatible.
- Position the replacement loosely and adjust it until the panel gap is even.
- Tighten fixings gently; do not overtighten reinforced-plastic mounting points.
- Open and close the flap repeatedly and confirm that it sits flush without fouling the bodywork.
