Fuel door hinge rivet rust

[gvan1998]

I have a brand new Overtrail and discovered some rust on the lower river that holds the gas door hinge to the body. I already put some touch up paint on it to prevent further rust. I have found that this rust is normal on 4Runner forums. You guys might want to check and put a dab of touch up. Here is a pic that I found that has the same problem.

Sucks to see this on the GX but thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the heads up! I will check mine later. I bunged up the front bumper a bit on a mesquite tree that was in the "trail" I was going down earlier last week and when I took it into the dealership and asked about a paint stick, to my surprise they went ahead and filled it in a bit for me at no charge. You can tell I chipped the paint but it sealed it up well enough. Looking forward to getting some steel front and rear bumpers for this thing.

After seeing this thread, I checked my Land Cruiser First Edition fuel filler door hinge.

Exactly the same rust!

Seems like we should all make a concerted effort to advise our Lexus/Toyota service departments about this at the next visit.

All good here, I have also checked the liner around my sunroof and floor boards after every wash and no issues!
