Warped Charging Cover

[ardsar]

Has anyone had this issue with the charging flap. It has started to stick out in the top corner. Raised it with the garage and they are supposedly contacting MG for a claim but said it would be ‘unlikely’!

How long have you had the car? I believe the flap is one of the limited warranty items IIRC.

Got it in March ‘23

One of many limited warranty items !

Probably just needs the hinge adjusting.

Have you tried giving it a really firm press?

The cover is mounted onto the flap mechanism.

I can only see it being a press fit of some sort.
Might be bonded on though?

Comments about the state of my vehicle will be ignored.

Yes I’ve tried pressing and squeezing it together as I saw a gap - but I see yours is similar.

If you fancy it, whilst you have it open like that, put it between both palms and give it another squeeze.

Forgive me if that's the way you have already tried.

I just pictured you may of been pressing firmly on it whilst it is shut.

Edit:

Read again.
You have.
I'll get my coat.
