thanks, ive got everything off and can see the hinge, but i dont see where anything is broken... there is just a little play in the mount. what year is yours? maybe they had a different type of hinge.. my fuel door is only sagging just enough to barely rub on the body. so its only off by half a centimeter or less, but i feel like its going to get worse soon.. i did notice that there are two rivets that mount the hinge to the body. the holes in the bracket where it is mounted have a little bit of room for the hinge to move, providing it is de-rivetted. do you think i should remove the rivetts and adjust the bracket, then just bolt it back in place?
