Broken gas part

I own a 2009 Fit and I was pumping gas in it the other day and the nozzle snagged the plastic part that pops out gas cover and broke it off. Obviously now my cover does not pop out anymore and I have to resort to prying it open with my key. Is there any web site that could sell me replacement pieces to fix this instead of just attempting to super glue it?Name:  IMG_0350.jpg

You could try hunting here to find the part:

College Hills Honda Parts

This is a good place for a quick rant about the Fit's fuel fill door. That door, all plastic including hinge, is the cheapest fuel fill door I've seen since I owned a 1981 Chevrolet Chevette. The Chevette's fuel door broke in the cold.

I think Honda really went cheap on us here.

It's the 'fuel fill door push lifter'. Most likely you can find the part at your dealer or College Hills. No rant re the fuel door, it works fine.
