fuel door rattles while driving on rough winter roads ...

... on my 07 Taco double cab. Has anybody else had the same problem? Any solutions out there?



Thanks!

 

No I can't say that mine does, but with that said, the rough road driving I do is certainly less than you.

 

yes mine does in also. tried to see if it was the clip that holds the door and nope did not fit it. its annoying.

 

For the last few days, the weather here in Edmonton Alberta has been terrible. Extreme cold ... -40 Celcius at night (that's -40 Fahrenheit for my American friends) ... roads are covered with ice and hard snow ... so the rattle in the fuel door has not been a problem until now. At least I think that it is the fuel door ... hard to tell what part of the truck is crying out in pain with this frigid weather.

I am sure thankful for the 4X4 ... what a difference compared to the Corolla that I was driving prior to my Taco.



If anybody has a solution to tightening up the latch mechanism on the fuel door, would appreciate the help.

Thanks.

 

Great!...lol...1 more thing to look out for!

 

Brutal ! F-ing brutal ! The coldest I was ever in was -50, we were doing a pet rescue for all the animals out in dog houses and stuff or just out in the open. I would wait to do anything right away, knowing that the adverse weather is creating this issue, maybe when it warms up he problem will go away.
