Good idea! I bought the original clip from Toyota parts for 2 bucks. It takes a week or so to arrive at local dealer. The 7 dollar after market clip didn’t work. Your solution is better when waiting for original part.
Guess my car's too old, can't find the spring for it in local car shops. Can find it in online stores for less than a dollar.. but then added on close to $20 shipping. I'll gladly use this clip approach.
👏👏👍 nice little fix, thnx 4 sharing

Fantastic
Thank you very much
Those springs break over time. You can buy a replacement at the dealer or on EBay around eight dollars , but I like your solution.
The plastic housing that holds the spring broke. I still had the spring, just no way to keep it in place.
Really good hole lots cheaper than dealerships
Awesome - Simple effective Idea. Brilliant.
Thanks. I needed that!
That's awesome...great idea
Genius!
Thank
you very much.
Genius
nice, thats a smart way to fix it fast
Great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where can I get a head cam like that?
All you have to do is spray with wd40. Spray the spring and it will stay shut. I did this years ago and I have not had the issue.
By the way, I live in a trailer park. Chip clips and beer cozies are prevalent....lol
I'm gonna go buy a clip rn lol
A fuel door spring costs less than $5 at Autozone. You might want to get one.
Unfortunately the plastic housing that holds the spring broke so I was looking at replacing the entire cover.
