Just bought a 2003 Red Turbo and her gas tank lid won't always open. You can hear it release but the lid won't pop up so its quite a challenge putting gas in when you're by yourself. I'm afraid I'm going to end up bending or worse breaking the lid (although it's only 90.00 to replace it).

HELP

I just started having this problem on my 2001 VW New Beetle GLS 2.0, and sometimes if you have someone push the button and you knock down on the gas door it will open, the little thing that opens the door is probably broken

Where is the release cable , I cannot find it
