Hi,
I had mine out recently while converting my rear quarters.
You insert an object in each of the 4 round holes. That releases the tabs that holds the fuel flap in position.
I used 4 new pop rivets, inserted backwards.

I would say its under 1 hour labor, and most of that goes for removing the trim inside the boot. You need to dismantle the actuator for the fuel door, and reinstall it after you have fitted the fuel door back in.

Anyway, why can't you simply try clear silicone from Bunnings? I would apply a miniscule amount between the paint and the edge of the fuel flap unit.
Perhaps best if you take the fuel flap unit out, then insert it again with some silicone.

Cheers,
Appreciate 1
