    Seriously though, I don't think it's that big a deal. You can probably steel wool it a bit and then seal it with something, if it bothers you... I'm sure someone else has a better idea, though.

    Do yourself a favor and hit the rivets and the hinge with rust protectant. The fuel doors are notoriously hit or miss for going to shit over time.

    My 4runner’s hinge pin has literally broken and doesn’t align anymore.

    Is "literally" broken or simply, broken?
