Hey guys,
I recently bumped into my 2018 e63s wagon fuel door (it is 890/5890 lunar blue) and it fell off. I have since made a mess using superglue, but I feel as if the door might come off again sometime soon. I have retouched the door since it scratched badly on the fall but am just wondering if someone has one for sale that is the color. If I would get one primer color, any paint shop can just paint it?
Thanks in advance,
NK

I also broke my fuel door and i simply had to buy the parts, painted and installed. For sure, it will cost $500+ easily.

Super glue is OK for a quick fix on some items that don't undergo a lot of stress in sheer or tension and and vibration.
Epoxy or JB Weld would be a more durable solution. Clean both surfaces to make sure they are fee of contamination, oil, etc, and have a good mechanical alignment, then prepare the epoxy or JB Weld and apply per instructions.
I've used JB Weld in various forms to make a near permanent repair on motorcycles where the repair take a beating in the desert and it has held up for years.

Hi all,
Reading this post, I feel my fuel door is very, very slightly misaligned.
It works properly, but just wonder if it is possible to move it a couple of mm along the rails (if any)... or if it is "factory glued" and therefore, not movable and has to be somehow detached and reinstalled back?.
