Default Fuel Filler Door Question

I've had my Q5 for a year--it's great. But two days ago I was unable to close the fuel filler door (or whatever it's called). I took it to Audi and after checking it said they said 'nothing is wrong' which left me feeling a bit stupid. They showed me how I have to really press the door now to make it latch. But I never had to do that for a whole year and I would not think to put a lot of pressure on it to close it. But now that's what I need to do. Has anyone else had any problems with this door? I can't understand why all of a sudden it has changed it's behavior.

When I filled up with gas the other day I had trouble getting it to latch. I noticed the writing on the gas cap was upside down. I briefly thought "surely that wouldn't matter" but I was in a hurry so I flipped 180 and then the door latched. I was going to check that later when I had time but I forgot until I saw this post. Still haven't checked though.
