Locking fuel door won’t stay shut

Can anyone snap a photo similar to what I posted here, particularly of the catch that the fuel door lock latches to. My fuel door won’t stay shut and can’t figure out what is wrong. Guessing that part of what it latches to broke off but not sure.

 

Here are the two points they connect…mine looks similar btw. I’m not sure why yours isn’t catching. Edit: yours actually did break off.


Mine…

 

Thanks, this is super helpful. It looks like I just need to bend the piece down that it latches to.

 

How the hell did it get blended up? Or did you do that thinking it would fix it?

 

not really sure. Thinking someone pryed that part up to try to steal some gas.

 

Yikes!

 

I'm looking at the exploded for the fuel stuff. https://parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2...5510_6710696/FUEL-TANK--TUBE/841420-7751.html

Flipping through the different pictures in FULL SIZE, I'm pretty sure the part I've marked here is that piece, but strangely, it's not in the damn parts list...

Actually, it may be in here, one of these, but I can't tell: https://parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2...10_6711917/LOCK-CYLINDER-SET/841420-6765.html

 

If you can get it fixed or find a replacement, you could always do what @Mr.bee did on mine and just put a little magnet in there to hold the door.
