Gas door wont open on 97 lexus
Stick strip of flexible material into the crack between the fuel door and the rest of the car, on the side opposite the hinge. I use about a 3/4 inch wide. piece cut from a coffee-can lid With this you should be able to pop back the bolt and open the door. This is called 'credit carding'. Once you have the door open, find the metal piece (some sort of prong, perhaps with hole in it) .protruding from the fuel door which engages the bolt(or seat into it so far. Bend this prong slightly so the bolt doesn't overlap it so far. It may take a few tries to get this right. Also, grease the bolt.
there is a manual release inside hidden under trim panel
