Fuel Door Release Cable Problems

I am told that the actual cable is only available through the dealer and it is $75. Is this true? I want to replace the whole thing myself but I get conflicting accounts about what I need to do. The fueldoorkit is $15 online but doesn't include an actual cable. Just a fix for a frayed one. Please help. I need to get this taken care of quick.

If it is broken near the lever then the fueldoorfix is the way to go. It clips right on.

My 2005 has this exact problem, I just ordered one of these parts to do the fix. Way better than replacing the cable (if it stays fixed that is)

Thanks for the info!

Re: Fuel Door Release Cable Problems

Seeing these 05s showing up I'm glad I ordered on for my 05 and popped it in place while the cable was still working o.k.

The fdf should be a permanent fix.
