Petrol flap release puller

Hey guys,

anyone know how to get to the nut that holds the petrol flap release puller in the passenger door recess ?
Stopped to put some fuel in today and the whole lot came away in my hand :oops:

Open the soft top storage area. Remove the carpet. Remove the screws that holt the plastic tray on the fuel filler side. Remove the tray. Lossen the band that holds the fuel filler neck to the inlet. Remove the rubber filler neck. Reach down inside and tighten the nut that holds the flap release and reinstall in reverse order. It's a pain but easily doable. You will not be able to see the nut, only feel it.
