Broken Fuel Door Hinge

[hoho223]

2005 ES330 My fuel filler door hinge has rusted and broken off. I need to replace the door. I have a new one on order. How do I drill out and replace the rivets or do I let the pros do it?

I might let the pros handle that one for several reasons:

1) If you don't do it exactly right, it won't line up properly withthe body and may not close propery.

2) I wouldn't want to risk any spark drilling metal near the gas tank vapors

Shouldn't that be covered by your corrosion warranty? Your car is only 4 years old at this point.
