Manual Fuel Filler Release Cable for 1991 164 (or lack thereof)



My owner's manual says that in the event of failure for the remote fuel
filler door release mechanism, to simply pull the cable visible in the
trunk.  Well guess what?  I needed to use this because the door was
frozen shut, and to my dismay, there was no cable in the trunk.  I
forced the trunk liner to the side to see if it somehow got hidden, but
I could find no evidence of said cable.  I eventually used a hair drier
to heat the mechanism up enough to allow it to work again, so I am set
for now, but if anyone can shed some light on this, please do so and
copy my e-mail address too.  Curious to know if there were some 164s
that escaped the factory this way or if this is a one of a kind anomaly.
