Vehicle Reference & Fitment
This replacement fuel filler door / flap release lever handle is removed from and designed to fit the Honda Civic Mk8 Hatchback (FN/FK Series) 2005-2008. Below is a reference image of the exact vehicle type this part is compatible with, along with the manufacturer logo guaranteeing a factory original component.
Where is this part fitted & What does it do?
This release lever handle is installed on the Lower Floor / Inner Sill area next to the driver's seat (Driver's side floor console trim). It connects directly to the release cable running to the rear fuel filler flap, allowing the driver to pop open the fuel cap hatch from inside the cabin.
Part Details & Symptoms of Failure
Material Construction: High-impact automotive ABS polymer lever handle with steel pivot pins and cable latch hook.
Common Reasons for Replacement:
- Snapped or broken pull tab lever due to accidental excessive force or cold weather brittleness.
- Cable retaining clip broken, causing the cable to slip and fail to unlatch the fuel flap.
- Loose or floppy lever action that fails to spring back or pull tension on the release wire.
Why buy an original part from us? Cheap aftermarket copies often feature weak plastic moldings that snap on the first pull. By purchasing a quality, original recycled factory Honda part, you guarantee exact factory tolerances, secure cable retention, and you can save as much as 70% compared to main dealer prices!
