Ice Accumulation
Over the past month my area has received a lot of snow and I've had difficulty closing the fuel panel and trunk when ice gets into the gaps...Today I legitimately took several minutes in the parking lot trying to close the trunk after opening it a minute prior to get out an ice scraper. Any similar experiences/solutions?

I had an issue today while filling up with gas when the gas door wouldn't open. i had to press on the cap a few times real hard and wedged my finger in the gap and force it open. I did see ice had formed by the hinge and thats what caused it.
Its weird because last winter i had no such problems with the gas door opening but i did have a problem with the gas door closing. i would fill up the car and after a few days of driving i would notice the gas door slightly open all by itself. This happened every week and so i took it to the dealer and they couldn't replicate the issue and found no problem.
Hopefully both these issues do not replicate again, but i doubt it.
