Um, I think my dealer's gonna take care of this, but maybe I might have to foot the bill or possibly do it myself...

The top hinge rusted out... the bottom one's fine, but now the door swings funny and is decidedly weak. It also now rubs up against the paint on the lower left hand corner when closing.

Is this generally a costly repair? Should I go to the Elmira NY Pick-A-Part and tear off some other Maxima's gas tank door and do it myself?

Argh... I won't let this bother me anywhere but at the gas pump.

Find one at a junk yard that is the same color as your car. I believe it is only two bolts (tho you may want to check)
