Hi listers,

        This seems like a silly question but it is certainly vanagon related so I'll go for it.

I've managed to get my rear bumper respectably straightened out.  As a result the rear hatch that exposes the oil and coolant area now opens fully. 

So first question.  What is the correct name for this little door? 

Next question.  Is there a way to adjust it at all?  In my case the latch holding it shut is acting very wimpy.  Everything seems straight and lined up as far as I can tell.  the top of the little door matches up with the little rubber bumpers on the van body.
  also.  the license plate seems to sit a bit low.  the bottom of the plate is below the top edge of the bumper.  Is this normal?

I could just leave well enough alone, but what fun would that be?  I'm looking for a way to have the small door shutt with a satisfying thunk and act latched.  

Tips are greatly appreciated.
