Default Fuel Door

I ordered a used fuel door off eBay. The description and photos showed a black section, fuel door hinge/back plate, that appears to be needed for mounting. Can anyone confirm or maybe explain why they would have removed it before shipping me the part?

Dunno why one would do that specifically, but I'd send it back as ''not as pictured/not as described.''

I had the same problem a while back wiht an EGR solenoid. They advertised/pictured the entire unit but when I received the part, half of it was missing.

I ended up robbng what I needed for the replacement part from my original part and it worked fine, but shouldn't have had to do that.

Seller didn't even give me the courtesy of a respnse when I mentioned about it.

What eBay seller did you buy it from?

The listing picture you posted shows it as an upper and lower section. Unless the seller stated in the fine print on the listing that it includes the fuel door only and not the lower cover and hinges, that I would definitely reach out.

They are 2 separate parts. If it is listed as a fuel door that is what you got

No, it said and hinge. They ended up sending the black section but I've yet to sort out the proper mounting of it all.

If you would like, I can post a picture or two of my fuel door and hinge assembly if you are having trouble assembling yours.
