Does anyone else find that there is a fair amount of flex in the sheet metal panel around the fuel door when pushing it closed? Every time I close the door it feels like I might permanently deform the panel.

Yeah, it's pretty thin. I make a point to push where the hinge is to prevent any flex.

Yes.

Not just the Powerboost, my Lariat 5.0L does it as well.
