Default tC Fuel Door

Is it just me, or does the fuel door on the tC seem a little flimsy. Out of all my cars, the tC has the thinnest and lightest fuel door. I'm a little worried that it will bend easily when I open it.

what, another problem?

Maybe if you get the carbon fiber sticker for the fuel door, the door will be heavier.

I think the fuel door is plastic as opposed to metal?

I think I agree with Jason? I also think that the door is fine?

What I really hate about the tC is how there is frost on my windows in the morning. It didn't do this for the first 3500 miles, it just started happening recently.. and not all the time, just when it's cold in the morning...

Could be that it's getting colder because we're heading towards winter?
