Pontiac Wave (2006) Fuel Tank Filler Door Latch

[gloriousglenn]

Hi,

I was recently talking to a 'parts' distributor, who couldn't help with what I was looking for, and they suggested I tried you guys...So here goes!!

I managed to snap the retracting part of the fuel tank filler door latch on my 2006 Pontiac Wave! Of course now I'm having to hold the filler door closed with Scotch Tape!!

To help explain which piece I need, the piece is 'No7' on the image below:


Does anybody know where I can get one please?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Loving some of the photos on here....Wow! Some great cars.

Since Pontiac is officially kaput, I would check with Chevy because the Wave is actually a Chevrolet Aveo. Actually it has been marketed by Chevrolet, Daewoo, Holden, Pontiac, and Suzuki.

Below is a sort of history of the car:

The Chevrolet Aveo (T200 is the first generation of the Chevrolet Aveo, a subcompact automobile manufactured since 2002 by GM Daewoo, the South Korean subsidiary of General Motors — originally marketed as the Daewoo Kalos and prominently marketed as the Aveo. The model received the T200 internal codes, used first by Daewoo, and then, by GM Daewoo during the car's development. The T250 code was designated for the model's facelift.

Designed, engineered and originally marketed by GM Daewoo, the Aveo superseded the Daewoo Lanos and was marketed worldwide in 120 countries under five brands (Chevrolet, Daewoo, Holden, Pontiac, and Suzuki).[3] In its home market of South Korea, the T200 was known as Daewoo Kalos, before being rebranded Daewoo Gentra. In several Asian, Australasian, and European export markets, the "Daewoo Kalos" name was also used, only to be later renamed "Chevrolet Aveo" or Holden Barina in the case of Australasia. Other names used include Chevrolet Lova in China and Pontiac G3 in the United States, selling alongside the "Chevrolet Aveo" version. In Canada, the name Pontiac Wave was originally used, followed by Pontiac G3 Wave, before adopting the "Pontiac G3" name used in the United States. Since 2003, Suzuki has also sold a version in Canada as the Suzuki Swift+ alongside the Chevrolet and Pontiac badged versions. T200's successor, the T300 was released in 2011. The Swift+ was dropped after the 2011 model year due to poor sales along with the entire Suzuki brand, although Suzuki Canada lists 2010 as the final model year Swift+.
