A door stop works like a wedge. When the door stop is put between the door and the ground, the angle of the doorstop affects the tension. the door pushes down forward on the doorstop while the friction on the bottom of the doorstop holds it to the ground.

How do you fix the fuel door on 1999 dodge avenger?
if the door is not popping open when you pull the release inside the car then there are two possible reasons... the first to check is the cable. to do this have one person pull the release while another checks at the fuel door to see if the stopper goes in when the release lever is pulled. if it doesnt then you know the problem is the cable. first check the connections at both the release lever and the door stopper. to access the stopper you must remove the interior panel from that side of the trunk. if both connections are in tact and the stopper isn't moving then the cable itself if broken and should be replaced. the other reason it may not be popping open is the spring located in the hing. without this spring the door latch will release but the door wont pop open because there is no spring to put pressure on the stopper. if this is the case then you need a new spring.
