1994 525i fuel door hinge replacement

When I get my vehicle back home, one of the things I need to do is fix a broken fuel door hinge. My Bentley manual makes no mention of this part. Is this an easy fix?

I heard it's a major pain in the ass. Mine is cracked as well and I kind of ignore it now.

I believe the hinge itself can be purchased online and that would be the best way to go about this instead of attempting to repair it.

i needed to replace mine. its easy. push the plastic out. insert new plastic.

The last one is one Helluva DIY, but its in Japanese so it requires Translation.

Cool! Thanks.

I just purchased my fuel door hinge from ebay for 10 bucks. Mine broke off so its easy to replace. No manual no nothing. Its a simple fox. Replace!! Do not repair!

I replaced my one few monthes a go its eazey 2 clips at the back undo them with sharp flat head screw driver and it all will come out at once. Trust just have a look at it and you will figer it out... good luck
