Use a jack to lift rear of vehicle. Remove the passenger side rear tire. Remove the wheel well cover to expose the fuel filler neck behind the quarterpanel. Note: For manual locking or manual non-locking fuel doors, do steps 1-4 only. For electric locking fuel doors, do all steps. Step 1 – Remove stock fuel door Remove the stock fuel door and plastic surround. The stock fuel door and plastic surround are a single unit. To remove, reach up behind the quarterpanel and release the tab at the top of the plastic surround. You may need to use a screwdriver to release the tab. Pull the stock fuel door and plastic surround straight out from the front. Step 2 – Bend tabs Bend the four tabs around the quarterpanel hole slightly inward using the back of a screwdriver handle or other blunt object. This is to allow clearance for the back of the fuel door ring (Fig. 1, black arrows). Step 3 – Shift fuel filler neck In order for the fuel door linear mechanism to function correctly, it must clear the metal collar surrounding the fuel filler neck (Fig. 5, arrow shows contact between the linear mechanism and collar). The fuel filler neck must be shifted to the left (towards the rear of the car) to make room (Fig. 1, white arrow). Loosen the 2 bolts holding the fuel filler neck to the body (Fig. 2 and 3, arrows) and shift the entire fuel filler neck towards the rear of the vehicle. Retighten.
