Id check the condition of this spring. If its still there and intact, you should be able to bend it outward a little to ensure the gas cover seats on it. If it's missing you could get creative,

knowing what's supposed to be there.
I have no idea what to use. Lol any idea where I can buy it? I don't even know what it's called So i can't get any good google results. :p
In the picture, the little rubber-coated V shape is (supposed to be) a spring - it sproings the lid open half an inch.
You can bend it outwards very slightly, and very carefully, and a drop of oil on the hinge might restore function.
If the tang is missing/broken, you could DIY a small spring in there....
