You need to order part # XR818050 (Plastic part that slips onto the metal notch on the gas door) - the one with the "premium unleaded" label. (Yours looks to be totally missing) I keep a spare one handy as I had to replace it not too long ago...

Just always close the gas door carefully moving forward.

Upon closer inspection of this little plastic part, my blonde moment subsided and I realized it's for the door
I had already called the dealership earlier and the part was less than $6, but I don't need it anymore.
My problem was the latch wouldn't spring back after being released, as if the release cable in the trunk was stuck. After wrestling with the cable for 20min trying to get it to release the latch, I finally got it enough to wear the door stays closed and the electronic switch can still open it. There's probably a kink in that cable somewhere behind the panel that I can't reach, so no idea how I could replace it. But I can live without that cable.

You can access it by removing the PS cover in the trunk---I was able clean and lubricate the mechanism without too much trouble.After clean and lube it was like new!
