Renault Megane - patrol cap door stuck?

The most peculiar thing has happened. The door over the petrol cap on my Megane is stck. At the moment only real violence looks like working.

It is so stuck that there must be sme lock, but how do I unlock it?

Got my own answer

The door is part of the central locking system.

A plastic rod shoots out from the body and goes through the plastic loop on the door itself.
That plastic rod got stuck (years of ignorance).

Solution?
You can reach it witha long knife from above, and push against the tip of the rod to achieve a release.

I cannot live with this not working next time, so made a breack in he loop. If the rod gets stuck, only a little force will pull teh door open.
