Gas Lid opening on its own.

Anyone have a failure of the black medal piece designed to keep the gas door shut. It no longer keeps the door closed as it doesnt seem to be locking in the closed position. Anyone got any ideas. Please check my other post for another functional issue.

that clip that holds the door shut is jacked.. i took mine to the dealer and the tech fixed it in like 5mins... he said its a crappy design
Hey man. This happened to my friends fronty. I used needle nose pliers and clipped one side of that metal piece and stretched the other side over to the position that it is supposed to be in. It clipped into place and no problems ever since.
Well I have read all of the links. Did the search. Tried needle nose pliers. Still no luck. It is under waranty but I don't want to waste my time with the dealer for a simple fix like this and I would also like to be able to fix it later. I'm not stupid nor mechanicaly chalenged but this stupid thing eludes me. Help please.
