How to open 2020 Toyota Rav4 Fuel door when it won't open

[@Megsalexis]

It’s 5am and I’m screaming and dancing in the parking lot because this worked and you’re freaking amazing for showing me!!!

[@user-dr3yt2rh9q]

I'm glad, thanks for watching!

[@wingnutmcspazatron3957]

Having the same problem right now on my 2019. You pointed out the exact part I need, but couldn't figure out while examining it. What a god-send, thank you!

[@user-dr3yt2rh9q]

☺️

[@zaheermahroof5469]

My 2020 raw4 it won't open last 3 days this is going to be useful well explain tnx mam I am a driver in ksa

[@fredmaroufi-ln5ul]

THANK YOU! Just few minutes ago pulled over to a gas station to fuel, my gas tank door would not open Used Your trick and there door was open without any use of force.Thanks again for sharing this! 👍👍👍

[@jenniferlilgendahl4645]

I just bought a 2019 Rav 4 at Carmax and when I went to fuel it up for the first time it wouldn't open! This video was a godsend. I did this (used a back scratcher even!) and opened it and sure enough, that part you lost is missing on mine. I need to get it serviced but in the meantime I can get fuel in my car. Thank you!

[@user-dr3yt2rh9q]

Wow. That is not very nice to sell you the car and the fuel door is broken and not tell you. I'm so glad my video helped.

[@biancacastillo5555]

I was stuck at the gas station today, literally cried because I thought I was going to have to bend and damage the gas door. Thank goodness for your video! I had my 5 year old hold up the lever for me and I got to pop open the door!!! Thank you a million for your video! My exact piece broke off during the cold winter.

[@mariaavalos-vx4xm]

Thank you so much ! You are su a blessing, an Angel that God send, I’m in the heat and I was getting a panic attack and opened you tube and I find your video and I did it and work so perfectly. Thank you so much

[@mariafernandez6222]

LOVE IT !!!. I’m stuck at the gas Station on a Saturday afternoon Getting ready to go out of town Sunday morning. But the fuel door will not open. I googled it and found your video and boom there. It is the door open. Thank you so much you’re a lifesaver.

[@monicakuhn1292]

Thank you for making this video! It’s my first time getting gas in my new/used RAV4 and could not figure it out. I googled you at the gas station after a minor panic moment & you saved my day! Glad to know it was broken and not just silly me! 😊

[@HansOellerich]

Ma'am, you just saved me! I'm 45 minutes into a 3-hour drive and I'm about to run out of gas. I found myself in your same predicament. Thank you for your video! I'm filling up my tank now. I'm going to get my butt to my Toyota dealer this week to get this fixed.

[@letsgophx]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I was struck at gas station with fuel tank almost empty. I used a prop (empty water bottle) and was able to open the fuel door. Very much appreciated.. stay blessed!!

[@mugensamurai]

Thank you so much first off. Had a terrible week and thought I had to spend a stupid amount of money at the dealership to fix the problem. Watched your vid and tied a couple of old mask from the lever to the steering wheel and got the door open. You are a godsend. Thank you!

[@xsepehrx]

You saved the day yesterday when I was running on fumes and barely made it to the gas station. THANK YOU for sharing your experience with us….

[@YoOskar]

I work overnight! It’s 6:45 am I’m exhausted and I was at the gas station almost in tears cause I didn’t know how I was gonna get that fuel flap open! You saved me with this video thank you so much God bless you

[@matthewb922]

You are my hero! Thank you so much for not only the quick fix but pointing out the piece that broke. I didn't even notice it was gone

[@ramblingcrow]

Thank you so much for posting this! Had that clip pop out a few weeks ago, couldn't figure out where it went, and was facing this issue with only a quarter tank of gas left. Can't believe they attach such a crucial piece of the fuel door with such flimsy plastic!

[@user-qy4lp3nc6o]

I was having a same problem with my 2019 I tried your trick with my back scratcher and it really worked! I didn’t even notice that I lost that black piece on my fuel door. Thank you so much!!

[@Tung_LE_Singer]

thank you Miss for sharing the tips! I got a brand new RAV4 2022 and going to fill the petrol when the full fuel tank is being up. It is a modern one and not with the button under our feet as the other lower Toyota Model. Now I got it. 🎉❤thank you so much again for sharing.

[@kyutie36]

I had a problem today with my 2019 rav4. Went to Toyota service and they couldn't figure it out. You did! My gosh, thank you so much! Now I can put gas ❤

[@marwil8768]

Thanks so much!! This just happened to my 2019 Rav 4. I’m so glad I was at half tank when I pulled up to the gas station. Smh. THANKS A MILLUON for talking time out to make this video.

[@mishanewcomer]

RAV4 2019 I just had the same situation, and when I closed fuel door, I realized that I couldn't open it again, went home upset and found your video. At least I was able to open it and tried put back this clip, but it came out usually when plastic is broken and it's not hanging there properly anymore. Now need to figure out how to glue this clip and make it holding there. Thank you one more time for helpful video.

[@destinyc.123]

Thank you so much for this. I was half a quarter to E and went to get gas when I realized I couldn’t open the fuel door. I went home and got the handle from my Swiffer duster and it worked perfectly… I ‘m keeping one in my car from now on, just in case lol

[@aweissen9024]

THANK YOU!! Thanks to this 4 minute clip I was able to see what had broken off in my gas cover and replaced it MYSELF. Not one scratch on my new car. No back scratcher available but my eager to help teenager held the lever up for me

[@Salamanca.R]

Hello, mine just broke today. How did you replace it? I mean what is the part name and is it easy to replace it? I don't want the dealership to charge me lot of money for that. Thank you

[@downtownbrown8657]

This happened to me last night and I just sat and cried 😭 but now I'm going to do this and I love you 😍 thank you!!

[@andyhong8469]

You are a genius! I had the same problem with the 2020 Rav4 and searched around. I first saw the video from Morozov that seemed completely impossible and way too much work. This is the simplest and quickest way! Thank you very much for posting this video J!

[@heathersullivan4258]

I saw that one too and was umm… nope that isn’t happening.

[@victorianguyen8088]

Woman you have saved my life. This exact thing, same thought process happened to me, and I was able to get it open. Thank you for sharing

[@kellyjones3311]

You are a freaking genius! And a life saver. Bless you! ❤

[@mikeg.1691]

Thank you so much for your video, I had the same issue on my 2020 Rav 4 , it fell out and I couldn’t figure out where belonged, two weeks trying to get gas and guess what it wouldn’t open, luckily I had a plastic fork to wedge in there to open it while I pulled the lever

[@dubdubw]

Girl, you just saved my life! Thanks for posting that!!!

[@stevenmichaelmaryturk4951]

You ARE "freaking amazing" . Because you shared this, I will be able to quickly refuel and keep many of my appointments scheduled hospice families in the Ft Myers area. God bless you.

[@user-dr3yt2rh9q]

My heart just grew a size! So glad it helped!

[@jlewis8521]

You're awesome, just got a call from the wife she couldn't open the door. And now I remember we once had that clip pop off. So the last time she got gas we probably lost it again. But great tip on opening!

[@monaebriscoe7350]

Having trouble with my gas tank door. This is so helpful. Thanks

[@yaohraglez657]

2021 just happen to me today......thanks 😁

[@nados5688]

It works, if you don’t have any thing to hold the lever, use car key to hold it .

[@scramjet4610]

Brilliant video. Thanks.

[@danielcervantes9349]

Than you SO MUCH for posting and sharing

Lifesaver!!!!

[@FredRayLybrand]

saved me!

[@franksaunders800]

Thank you!

[@tattoolady68]

Thank you so much for this tip. However, I do not have a lever. I have a button and I cannot do this same trick. So I still require 2 people. And I have to wedge a lotion bottle into the gas tank to get it to open. But thank you so much for showing me the missing part.

[@fight-off6847]

Saved my butt!

[@lmorganlak1]

You and I are the same person 😂 same exact thing happened to me the other night

[@braddeveson7505]

Perfect, although my internal piece was still there. I used a bungee hook to keep the lever opened🤣

[@Sheaj300]

My question is why is this happening in these cars?? The same thing happened to our 2019 Rav 4 and your trick worked for us too. Thank you. What’s up with this problem??

[@user-dr3yt2rh9q]

I think it's a known issue with Toyota but there's a process for everything and I'm not sure where they are at with this.

[@FeelGoodDiscoClub]

​@@user-dr3yt2rh9qhow much was the repair? Thanks in advance..

[@arturomendez7945]

Great vid. However what is part number or name of this plastic spring? Or how to find it on ebay or rockauto. Thanks in advance.

[@gonzalj41]

Heyy,, woww, thank you lady..!!!

[@juliamckenna430]

Thank you

[@bonnie4333]

😂 I didn’t have a prop, so a few toes and some leg extension worked just fine

[@janninehughes59]

I just stopped for gas yesterday and the pin popped off. I still have it. Can it be reattached? Or do I have to go back to the dealer to have them replace it? This is a great fix but I really don't want to have to do this every time I need to fill up!!

[@pamelablunt1839]

I hope this works. The last time I got gas, that little metal piece fell off!!! So that must be it. UPDATE: My gas button doesn’t lift. You just push it in and, yes, I tried wedging a stick between the button and the drivers seat,😮 to hold it pressed in but it doesn’t work that way. But happy for the rest of you. Aargh!!

[@joseVazquez-sk5dt]

I have the clip but I don’t know we’re I putting
