Hood won't pop

[mrnickleye]

Not so funny thing. My daughter's Camry gas door would not open down at the gas station, so I went there. I reached behind the panel inside the trunk, and removed the cable / latch. 2 second job.

Turns out the 'spring' piece had come off the plastic holder. Plastic was broken. Latch was working, but door would not spring open.

I was able to quickly mount the metal spring plate into a different place, and now it works fine again.

I am gonna investigate the gas door on my supra tomorrow, so I'll be ready in case it happens to me.

I'll let you all know what I figure out.
