Hi all. Looking to pick whoever brains. Washed the car today and after had dried the inside of fuel filler flap it would close. The spring loaded clip works and checked the locking pin engages when car locked but the flap doesn't stay shut and flush when closed but car not locked. Checked and can find no blockage for the fin thing that goes in. Any ideas what could be up? Anyone had this and found a fix? Minor but annoying!!

Cheers in advance for any help

Sounds like something just isn't catching. Have a look on realoem for your particular car and you may just get a picture of the flap for comparison. Without seeing the car, sorry I can't be of any more help.
