My Corsa’s charging flap won’t open

[shinram4]

My Corsa is playing hide and seek with its charging port! It appears shy when I’m not using the car (usually use the minivan for carpool duties). Has anyone else had this strange flap issue with their Corsa-e?

I haven't had this problem. Try lubricating the mechanism with WD-40.

Try repeatedly unlocking and locking your car while pressing on the flap.

Wait for a few seconds for the mechanism to react, if it works after this step then go ahead and lubricate it before finishing up. If by any chance it doesn't work out, then you should contact your local dealer and set an appointment to get it serviced

Thanks everyone for the tips! I tried them all, but none worked. I had to replace the actuator, and everything appears to be running smoothly so far.
