Gas Fuel Lid Cap, annoying problem
 

2003 Accord ex,v6

I have an annoying problem with my gas fuel door.
My release line works fine, but the door does not pop open by itself. I have to have the guy at gas station press the side of the fuel tank door, while i hold the gas door release button. Im not sure if there was a spring, or some kind of release clip that pops the door open.

Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks
