Charging Port Door issue

[JedK]

I'm having this issue where I can't lock the charging port door on the front of my 2019 Kona EV.
Originally, I couldn't get it open and I was running out of juice. I tried pulling that little cable under the hood but that didn't help.
So, I wedged my fingers under the door and pulled it open.
Now that little "pop-out thing" on the right inside doesn't pop out. Because of that, the door doesn't latch closed.

It doesn't look like replacing that assembly is an easy do-it-yourself kind of thing (or maybe it is).
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jed K

The only option is to have the dealer repair it.

Do you think that's a warranty repair?

It's a common problem and in every case reported on forums repairs were covered under warranty. Can you imagine the outcry if it wasn't?

Thanks, I searched the forum but didn't see those issue posted.

Here is one similar case in this forum that was indeed covered by warranty
