Should I be concerned? What is it? Get it fixed? Sorry no pix.

I'm embarrassed to say I did the same thing. Once I realized what had happened I was EXTREMELY surprised just how easy it was to break it. I'm a light guy and I think even just leaning up against the gas cover would be enough to break it.

I'm going to run by the dealership tomorrow for the sticking hatch release problem and will see if they can take care of the gas lock as well. I'll let you guys know how much hassle they gave me.
