XV Crosstrek Fuel Door Temporary Spring Replacement v1

thingiverse

Needed to quickly replace a missing fuel door spring on my 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek. This is not a 1:1 reproduction of the OEM part, but rather my first go at creating a replacement part that would serve the same purpose, based on eyeballed measurements. I don't necessarily expect this to hold up to long term use, but it seems to function rather well in the short time since I've installed it. UPDATE: Yup, this is only a temporary replacement. Worked well for me for about a month, but will eventually deform and lose springiness sufficient to open fuel door. Recommend printing a couple to keep as replacements if a more permanent fix isn't readily available.
