Default Rattles and gas door

So the car has some issues right now. The rear strut bar's Z emblem cover is rattling [making a clicking noise] against the black part. This happens when driving at any speed, slightly less so when making a turn. Also, there's a rattle from a driver's side door panel somewhere near the back side during the morning or late night at about 25 MPH and up. I couldn't find any TSB's about this except for the rear axle clicking, which isn't right.

Also, the gas door is way out of line. Any fixes for any of these?

warranty my man...if you bought it new then just take it to the dealer and make them take care of it all.
if not then try using some real thin felt to put in between the pieces in the back that are rattling.

the rattling issues are a easy fix, just get creative or take it to the dealer for new plastics. The gas door, well I have the same issue. It flares out toward the wheel well just like your pic. But its notjust us, maybe more members will come foward and let you know they have our same problem with the gas door.

Hey are you sure it's the rear strut bar cover making the noise? I am having that problem right now and I though it was that making the noise but Im not too sure right now. I took it to the dealership 4 times already and they claim they fix the problem, but I still hear it. I suggest you take it to the dealer. I'm pursuing the Lemon Law process right now so I can get re-inbursed or a new z.
