Gas Tank Flap doesn't seat properly. What to do? V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Tue Apr 6 10:24 CST 2021 [RELATED]

Hello All,

I have a 1999 X70 AWD XC wagon with 220,000 miles. About a year ago, I noticed when I closed the gas tank flap, it no longer seated flush against the rear body panel. It "stuck out" slightly as the bottom of the flap from the surface area of the panel. The flap works properly by the way. I can "close it" , that is when I push it in, it will "lock" and it does release when I pull the release lever. It just esthetically bothers me when I look at it.

I am having the car go in soon to my local auto body shop to have unrelated issues addressed. I will mention it to them to see if it can be adjusted so the gas tank flap is once again flush with the rear body panel. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has had this experience, and if so, how you addressed it? Thanks in advance to all who respond.

Hugh
