The fuel door flap on a Vauxhall Insignia may not stay shut due to a faulty latch or hinge mechanism, which can become worn or damaged over time. Additionally, dirt or debris in the latch area can prevent it from closing properly. It's also possible that the fuel door itself is misaligned or that the spring mechanism intended to keep it closed is malfunctioning. Checking these components can help identify the issue.
I had the same problem with my 95 and all it needed was lubrication worked into it. Spray a lubricant into the latch assy and apply grease to the hook portion of the latch that contacts the hood.
its difficult.
Jam a screwdriver in horizontally at the latch until it wont go in anymore, then lift up the screwdriver and push it down while lifting up on the armrest. These armrests are junk, and it will break of completely. My advice: empty your belongings out of it and leave the stuck latch stuck with the arm rest permanently closed.
sounds like a bad door latch mechanism.
The cable between the latch and the handle may be broken or needs adjustement to shorten the cable so that the latch will fully release.
