1998 Grand Vitara Broken Petrol Flap

[BMC]

As of today the small inner latch attached to the inside of the petrol flap snapped (around a 1/4 at the far end of latch).

So now I'm left with the ultimate style mod of a flapping/non closing petrol flap.

Any suggestions on what I do here?

I'm thinking:

1. Go to panel shop and ask for them to fix it (which will mean they will prob just order a spare flap from the wreckers and color match + install)
2. I go to the wreckers and do this myself......

Has anyone else experienced this?

then once its all taped up and doesn't flap anymore, you can find a spare at a wreckers and fix yourself

Cheers Skid - this (Good old Nasa duct tape) is actually what my partner said! - but, when sure the flapping flap she changed her mind!

I used this tape once to hold on half my rear bumper when on holiday after I had a "nasty" merge lane run in with a truckie....
