Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Fuel tank access door has design defect. when opened (to gain access to fuel cap), it rubs the edge of the vehicle body panel surrounding the access door. this is also a problem with model 2001, as a friend has reported the same complaint. as for the vehicle glass, it was scratched easily from road debris being rubbed by the wipers, and also inside of the glass grit. this has never occurred with previous vehicles owned, so the glass must be unusually soft.**** dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis****760761. *ak *jb
