Let us know what you find. How do you get it open to get fuel?

Mine barely opened with the lever, I opened it with a piece of plastic then bent the black "L" shaped spring clip (near the hinge) back with my hand to push it open farther.
opens about 1" now, not a problem anymore

Go into the trunk, peel back the liner on that side; you will see where the cable enters the gas door area
