When I went to get gas this am (1st time i have seen gas for < $2 in a
long while) upon opening the fuel dddo, it fell off.. ;-( there is a
sort of wire clip that remained on the door unit that ended up in the
rear seat, upon close inspection, it k@@ks like the small plastic hing
thingy on the bottom may have broken off...this would be on the hing
that remained on the car side, not on the door (which now lives on the
rear seat)...question: anyone have this problem in the past? how hard
was it to fix?...thank you !!!!!

Joe D's link is a good description. I replaced mine once; it was under $10
US at the dealer and was even in stock. The parts guy mentioned earlier
models used metal hinges but when they were forced they were very hard to
repair. The plastic is cheap to replace.

I've had one of these hinges on order for my 760 estate at my "Large" main
dealer for the last two months, they say Sweden does not have any available,
but they're still trying for me!!
So if anyone has a spare one how about selling it to me please!! [presume
the saloon one is the same as the estate one?].
Gas at under $2!!!!! I wish!!!!

Have you tried calling around to other dealers? When I needed one a
couple years ago they were in stock locally and only about $6.
