I know this is a random part.. lol.. but mine seems to have warped in some way and now doesnt close correctly.. so i just bent the hell out of it to make it work for now, but it looks really ugly.. anybody have a fuel door for a 2000-2001 max? i think it's sterling mist?? (that greyish, tanish color)

*side-note: stealer quoted me over $200 for the door and painting.. needless to say, that quote is now far up the @$$ of nissan

 

i got a door of an i30. dark blue, perfect shape should fit.

 

Strangely enough, I have the same problem with my fuel door! Warped and it sticks out like a ****, I too have bent it every which way to work for now! Sometimes it won't even open when I push the release button and I have to stick a key between the fuel door and quarter panet to pry it open! So annoying but hoping to get it fixed one day! Good luck!

thanx, but i need it the same color as my car.. sterling mist

 

you know what you can do? if you have a passenger in the car, have them hold the button while u pry it open.. much easier.. looks ghetto as hell, but it works.. lol

 

best bet would be a junkyard. try car-part.com or other, i bet you can get one matching color off there. its not like there are a lot of these floating around on here, most of the cars here still drive

 

i know, yeah.. i figured it was a long shot, but u never know.. i'm gonna check the junkyard too.. but if someone on here has one that would be great

 

u do understand if you find one the same color the shade will be off?

 

no, i didn't know that... why is that?

 

because the sun eats up the color..

 

it would probly only be like 20 bucks to get that door painted.

 

I have a sterling mist parts car! I think the door on it is still good. $ 100 shipped if you want it.

email.
gkrolikowski16@yahoo.com

I rarely check emails on here, so your best bet is to email me.

 

u think so? like where.. nissan said over $100.. so i was thinking the real world price would be somewhere close to there

 

LOL seems like I'm the lucky one here.. I had that problem too..

but I took it easy and used a pair of vice grips 2 sorta "crimp" the hinge in..

the reason y it stuck out was because of the hinge being a little stiff so throughout the years it bent out..

with a little patience and bending little by little.. now its perfectly flush and pops better than ever..

at the cost of a little scratch but oh well lol good luck with evry1 else!

 

same issue here. top part of the the inside hinge rusted off and i have to push on the "back" part the door, near the hinges, to open it. tried the key method but don't want to scratch any paint. looking for a '02 Super Black door.... PM Me. Thanks.

 

It's very odd, but my 2001 Maxima has the same problem. The door never has a problem opening, but it does stick out a little from being warped. I wonder what causes that. Very odd indeed. ... and I thought I was the only one with a messed up fuel door. HAHA

 

I have one from my 2001 sterling mist se. closes flush, opens just fine.

 

I am looking for the fuel door if your exterior color is sterling mist (silver). shipped to zip code 43017. Will pay 50.
