How to access filler door from inside trunk?

Anyone know? Mine won't shut.

No access, but you can remove the wheel liner to get access.

Remove trunk carpet liner on the filler side just to reach in and remove the plunger assembly.
Check the connection but most likely you'll need a new plunger.
1/2 hour with a beer break.

Mine won't open on it's own.

Thanks much- When I activate the door panel switch I hear the characteristic noise of the motor, so I'm assuming it still works. I recently had some bodywork done on that quarter and I'm wondering if the bodyshop screwed something up since they did remove that felt trunk liner.
