Has anybody had the fuel door to come loose from the hinge? I have a 2010 with 3k on it and the fuel door was loose so I pulled on it and it came right off the hinge so I slide it back on it with right on but it not real tight..

My sister has a 2010 raptor that did the same thing. She just took it back to the dealer and they fixed it. Stupid thing to break if you ask me but stuff happens I guess!

Yes; and because "I own so much stock in FMC", they gave me a new truck!

No... That is the spring broke. Mine is the door came off the hinge, Flat part only.

Are you sure you are not mistaking the "hinge" for the spring/retainer problem?

There is one connection where the painted lid itself, slides on to the larger flat portion of the hinge arm with a locking clip to hold it in place....then there is the portion where the hinge arm goes inside the truck body and is held in with some sort of tension spring. Mine and many others have come loose on the end which is inside the body or fender well, where it just flops around (due to the tensioner or retainer spring failing) and will not let it stay in place firmly against the fuel door cavity.

Just trying to help you here.

Yes the painted part came off the hinge plate that locks it on..

Your sister has a Raptor?!?!

I'm in love and I don't even know her name.

Don't get excited yet, she's prolly a sea turtle! just cause she has a raptor doesn't mean she's good looking, in fact it most likely means the opposite, Haha!

Haha what are you jealous my 19 yr old sister has a cooler truck than yours!
