[Couple of other weird things I forgot about. The driver-side window, when I roll it up, seems to go off-track. That is, it doesn't stay in the rubber molding along the side of the window. It goes off, and so when it goes all the way up there is open space between the door and the window. Kinda hard to explain without seeing it. I can prevent this by holding the window and pushing it in towards the driver when I roll it up though, so its not a huge thing.
my old 90 EX coupe had the problem with the window coming out of track. I never fixed it. I just learned to deal with it instead of tearing the whole damn door apart to replace a $4 part.
Also, is there a spring on the fuel door? If so, I think it might be broken, because when I try to open it, the door unlatches, but it doesn't spring open. I rememdy this by having one person pull the release handle next to the driver's seat, and having one person use a knife to pry the door open while it is being released. Its not convenient, but it gets the job done. I'll have to look into what the problem is there.
There shold be a little shiny silver clip at the hinge of the fuel filler door that acts as a spring. The clip you have may have fallen out, or your hinge is stiff so that it doesn't want to open like it should. Go to your local salvage yard and pocket a clip (i'm not condoning stealing) for your car.
As for me, I have to take out the battery to switch out my passenger side light, and the drivers side I have to pull away the cruise control thingy. Honda must have made their cars for people under 5'3"; being well over 6' I have problems getting into small spaces. Besides, it's good to have some extra room to work with.
