Richard,

Thanks. I will later today. We were traveling to get to a point where I'll have a few days to deal with this. I don't know when the bay doors switched to the folding design, but that's what I have in 2009. In this case, the fuel bay door has about a 1" wide opening that runs parallel with the outside of the door. This opening is in back of the stainless sealing surface. I plan to access the fixed portion of the latching mechanism and remove the nuts that attach it. The problem is that Newell uses nylock nuts and the bolt heads are covered by the Southco latch, when the bay door is closed. It'll be more clear with pictures, later. Hope I can get this off.
