gas door and dashboard on 84 high sierra
 
ok so my fiance has an 84 gmc high sierra and she went to the gas station last night and when she opened the gas door she said it made a nails on a chalk board sound and then when she was done the door wouldn't shut. when she got home i noticed it was leaning crooked and i could wiggle it a bit. it was dark so i couldn't do much tonight but i am working on it tomorrow does anybody know how it mounts or what could be a possible cause of this issue. Also i havent started yet but we got her a new dashboard and before i start that i wanted to see if anybody knows off the top of their head how to take the old one off to replace it. Its probably not too dificult but id rather get some pointers on both issues before i dive into them.

gas door maybe hinge worn? mine squeaks, i need to lube it.


As for dash board, loosen gauge bezel, take 4 screws off the bottom side on passenger side dash board (Below the right trim piece) and then 1 screw in drivers side door jam, should come out easy (did on my 82-83)
