fuel door hinge

[6670charger]

Any particular trick to getting the new fuel door hinges to actually attach to the body? I got the hinge to seat properly in the door itself, and it fits into the square openings in the body, but it won't snap in and stay.

Any tricks anyone knows of to get this thing to actually stay on the car?

Hmm, I just did this the other day and had no trouble...

Aha, here it is.
Shoot this through google translate. It's awesome.

They should just snap on, really. The hard part is taking it out without breaking the tabs, but that's been figured out, in Engrish too :

from Shogun : FIXES - BODY (http://twrite.org/shogunnew/fixes/body.html#Fuel_Flap)

Oh, and maybe try to put it in when the flap is in the open position. I think that's what I did last time.
