Una,
Definitely corrosion. It looks like it might be time for a new fuel door. I would consider taking it off soon as you may get to a point where it won't open at all. If you replace it you also might want to consider a different brand of fuel door as that one does not seem to hold up well to the weather we have in the north east.

The real wheels one is good. i have the chrome version. it is easy to install . easy to clean and isnt all that expensive. its like $169.99 .they have two versions of the black one. its either grooved or its smooth. smooth looks best.

I don't know what you paid so I don't know how much trouble to want to go throught to fix. But if it is aluminum "Hard Anodizing" may be a fix for you. Just look up metal plating or finishing in the phone book and you can find a local shop to see what they have to say. If all the white is just salt residue and it is just the lock that is corroding you may just need a good Stainless steel lock to replace that one. ??? good luck.

I agree with KenP. I would still start making plans for replacing that door, but I would also call whoever you bought it from and bitch. For what we pay for these things they should last more than a year.

If you are going to get rid of the bad door, let me know.
I will buy it from you.
I am tossing around a couple ideas, but do not want to experiment on a new one.
You can e-mail me at
richard_gonzalez@ssa-sa.sel.sony.com
if you are interested.
Thanks-
Ric-H2

I am having the same problem with mine, it sure is a pain in the ass to get that lock open now. The weather here eats everything up but it's pretty obvious they were made with junk as the other 50 locks I have outside now and have had in the past never suffered this problem.
