My recently purchased 2024 Bronco needs to have the fuel door adjusted because the hinged side scraps against the body when I open it.

I don’t trust dealers to fix the issue without damaging the paint - does anyone have a doc that describes how to adjust the fuel door flap?

There is no adjustment. Something is either broken, damaged or not installed correctly

It just pops out. I wonder if it got pushed in too far or incorrectly, causing the misalignment. It was hard to screw up though, even when cutting out the hole in fiberglass fenders.

Possible the arm got tweaked/bent.

The hinge itself seems to just be plastic, so I’d expect there to be a visual if it was bent. I’d try popping it out and just check all around where it clips in to the fender to see if it’s seated all the way. It looks like it is from the picture but it’s hard to tell. Our pictures aren’t super useful as the white bronco has ADV fenders and the black bronco, well, it’s black. Little tougher to see.

Had the same issue and asked this about a month ago all I got was take it to the dealer. I don’t trust the dealers around me to fix this either so here is what I did.
Get a plastic trim tool and put painters tape on it.
Open the drivers side rear door and above the door latch body side behind the rubber seal is 2 bolts.
These bolts are for the rear quarter panel.
I loosed them wedged the plastic trim tool between the gas cap lid(closed) and the panel and twisted.
Tighten back up this gave enough clearance it no longer rubbed.
Bolts are 10mm
