so my mom and I pull up to the gas tank cause the car is low on gas..osbviously...and its freezing here below 0 with windchill and we pull the gas button on the side of the oh so reliable[:@] Vdub beetle and it wont open so i go out latch my fingers and try to pry it open, i stopped because i didnt want to break it but what could be wrong

is it possible that its frozen shut?

or could it be the mechanism?

this ever happen to anybody?

 

anyone?

 

hm a vw beetle I have no clue on those but I know on the new civics it happens alot and there is a link around here somewhere with a site on how to fix it.

Thanks ima email them and see if it can fit on the Vdub

but till i jump to conclusions ima try to warm it up and see if it is just ice.

 

Happend to me the other day. It was frozen. I had to pull on the release latch real hard. After that it wouldn't close. The next day everything was fine.

 

had a similar prob with blender door on my '95 Ranger, which was no surprise for a Ford prod. But concerned and confused that Honda never fix an obviously bad design flax.
