It is painted to match the original factory colour (Manitoba Grey – EZQ) and designed as a direct replacement for the original part on Peugeot 407 Sedan models.

Installation Recommendations
- Inspect the surrounding area for rust, damaged clips or bent hinge mounts before starting the replacement.
- Open the fuel filler flap and locate the fixing screws or retaining clips—these are typically accessible from the filler opening or by partially removing the inner trunk/boot trim depending on vehicle access.
- Carefully remove any screws or clips holding the old cover in place. If present, detach the release cable or latch components with care to avoid stretching or damage.
- Position the new cover on the hinge mounts and secure with the original hardware. Replace any worn clips or fasteners to ensure a solid fit.
- Check alignment and door closing operation. Lubricate the hinge and latch points lightly with a suitable corrosion-inhibiting grease if needed.
- After installation, verify that the fuel cap seals correctly and that the filler cover closes smoothly without interference.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
- Minor Collisions Or Parking Damage: The fuel filler area is exposed and often damaged in low-speed impacts.
- Hinge Wear And Broken Clips: Frequent use and environmental exposure can wear hinge pins and plastic retainers, causing misalignment or loss of function.
- Corrosion Around Fixing Points: Moisture ingress can corrode mounting points, making the cover loose or preventing proper closure.
- Paint Damage And Scratches: Chipped paint from fueling or road debris leads to visible defects and potential surface corrosion.
Replacement of this part is a cost-effective way to restore appearance and functionality.
