I just got a new one and it hooks in on the car but it doesn't stay it. It goes in fine amd I can open it but when I try to close it it comes out. Am I forgetting something?

The C shaped clip lasts forever. I assume you did not clip it in completely.
Here my detailed instruction with pics

After market fuel hinges sometimes do not fit perfect, they do not clip into the bracket on the body 100%. Use a small file to fix the bracket if necesssary.

Or you inserted the C-clip the wrong way.
