My filler foor sticks out a little bit, maybe an1/8 to 1/4 inch. It used to stay shut, but now it pushesopen slightly. Any ideas? How does it come off? Anyone have any pictures? I know I am getting a little rust in that area.....and am concerned tat removing any fasteners might result in the fasteners not holding when put back in....
 
Check hinge for any damage... They should not hang open at all. Not sure if there is a spring in the system but seems like mine feels spring loaded?

BEen so long since I had stock door...

Door bolts on if I remember.
My guess it yours got bent and does not shut all the way and hit the little rubber nubbies.

Time to get a nice new BILLET one!
 
or take it off and vice it up carefully, and bend it back in shape!  {the hinge}
