Broken Charge Port Door

[llblue]

Not sure how it happened, but last week when I opened the charge port to my Model Y, I discovered the door was broken in two (car is less than a month old). I managed to superglue it back together but…it shows. So, I ordered a new charge port cover (only, not whole mechanism) on eBay. Now that it is coming this week I realize I don’t know how to “pop” off old door to replace it. I’ve searched the web and I can’t find the answer.

Any suggestions?

Photos? What part of the door "...was broken in two..."?

Here are two photos. One from the inside of door (hinge on left), crack along bottom right). Second photo is of
the outside of door.

Okay folks, I followed the instructions that came with the replacement Charge Port Door. I pried the old one off, attached the new one. I was going to superglue it, but it stuck by itself (must be magnetic.)

Good as new

Do you mind posting the instructions, thanks. I have a similarly broken charge port door. I took the charge port off I don't see how you can just pry it off and have the new one just pop in with magnets. It was attached to the charge port door arm using 2 Torx screws. Like this video

Hey so my door isn't "broken" off but it doesn't open with the manual push and also doesn't open with the charger button. How much did you pay for the replacement and was it hard?

$20 on ebay. I was shocked at how easy this was. Pop the broken door off and stick the new one on. No glue needed.

But it was just the flap right ? Not the mechanics? Cause mine doesn't open with the manual push or the charging wand. So I'd guess mine be a bit more involved and expensive lol

Me thinks you SOL . Mine was just a broken door. Mechanism worked.

Yeah I found some for sale with the mechanism and they aren't expensive but I'd think the replacement is harder
