This is nothing to worry about - 5 seconds to fix with a sharp knife

According to the thread I linked to above its all the dealer will do too so if anyone was going let their dealer have a look save yourselves the trip

Both my GTD and my SQ5 have developed this issue. Where do I lube and what lube do I need.

Mine also started sticking....the 20 second fix on the previous link fixed it 100%
It just isnt worth the hassle of taking it to a dealer to fix

My fuel flap also started to stick, I popped into the dealers on the off chance that they could take a look at it, which they did, there and then, and replaced a part.  I was on my way again within half an hour.

Mine started sticking closed over a year ago. I lubed the pivot rod with decent silicon grease (not spray) just once and it's been perfect ever since.  Recommended as a long term fix :)
