This is exactly what just happened to my Rav4 and this video literally just saved me a trip to the dealership. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this information , you just made my day! I’m an old lady about to take a road trip and I found your channel on KZbin. Thank you thank you

[@DadsToyBox]

This is awesome! I’m glad the video helped you.

[@danahull5825]

Thank you! I am an old lady all alone and bought a used Toyota from a guy and it needed gas first thing so took it right to gas station. The cap wouldn’t open! I tried and tried. No one at gas station to help and could not make it home without some gas. Went online and found your video and it worked perfectly. You may have honestly saved my life. I was stranded out in the middle of no where. Thank you!

[@DadsToyBox]

I’m glad this helped you. It’s amazing how many people have this same problem with their Toyota

[@braddeveson7505]

I had a flexible cord with hooks in the back. One hook under the latch and the other jammed in the door 🤣 Got the replacement part mailed from Toyota and changed over easily. I used a short screwdriver to ease the old part out. Thanks for the helpful video 😃

[@DadsToyBox]

Glad you got it fixed.

First time it happened to me I was almost out of gas and far from a gas station. I had to research the locking mechanism at the gas pump.

Your a lifesaver! I was at the pump about the gas up freaking out! This is second time the spring mechanism has broken on me. The whole spring is gone and the black piece is cracked. I’m wondering if this is a thing w the rav4s

[@DadsToyBox]

Yes. It happens to a lot of people. I put a link in the description and comments with the part you need.

Where can I buy the tiny metal pice I’ve lost mine?

[@DadsToyBox]

amzn.to/3XO26ps Here’s one that is available on Amazon Prime.

[@paolocosmo6310]

Finding something to prop open the gas cap latch is difficult for a 2010 Camry-this latch is right next to the trunk latch on the floor next to the drivers side door-I had to use a handcuff key which was narrow enough to insert between the two latches

[@DadsToyBox]

I’m glad you were able find something.
