BMW Charge Flap Not Opening (Replacement)

[@SteveEmery-s8j]

Thank You!!! I have a 330e that has a loose hinge that likely needs replacing, and I was not looking forward to tearing apart the wheel liner to get behind the panel. This is exactly waht I was looking for to understand how to fix it.

Thanks for making the video! When the winter came the locking pin got stuck, and now have an appointment to fix it under warranty, but nice to see that it's not too expensive to do on your own when warranty runs out.

Hey there! I have the same problem I was wondering how do you get the door open if the door is stuck closed? Thanks!!

Hi there. You just don’t. Buy a new one and replace it or if you need someone to do it for you, let me know.

[@bmwupgradesbyjd2581]

@@RockRocky09 you remove the flap cover first and then the flap assy. The video explains it all. Good luck!
