Charge door actuator failure

Noticed my charge door wasn't closing properly and had a closer look. Realized the actuator cylinder was not actuating properly and seems to have simply failed in position. The good news is that it has failed in a position where it seems to hold the door mostly closed but just enough so that things don't get broken when trying to open the door. I will try the manual release later to see if that helps restore the actuator to proper movement. I had a look online and i see that the actuator mounts with two small screws in the back of the charge port holder. I'm guessing the inner fender liner comes out and then you can get access to the back. I'm still in warranty so I'll just have the dealer do it. However for anyone who has the issue out of warranty the parts are inexpensive and should be pretty easy to repair. Might even make sense to just make one that activates via a pull chord in the trunk and eliminate the troublesome stock unit.
