Seems like inside the fuel door lid, it always gets dirty. There is always dirt and sand inside there after I clean it up. Anyone else with this problem and what is the solutions.

 

To make the dirt go away you need to go to the dealer and order the splash guard piece for inside the left rear wheel well. If you look in there you should see the two exposed tubes (fuel filler & fuel line I believe) that are open to dirt and dust and stuff and it gets up inside the fuel door area. There is a BIG thread on this a while back -- search for it because it has the part numbers and stuff, which I don't remember off the top of my head.
