Product Description
Buick Park Avenue 1997-1998 Polished Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC37580)
GC37580 is listed for a two-year window: the Buick Park Avenue 4-door sedan, 1997 and 1998. It's a single piece of polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, that sticks to the face of the fuel door with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Double-check the year
With only two model years on the row, confirm yours before ordering. Check it against the listed years. The Fitment tab lists Buick Park Avenue, 1997-1998, 4-door sedan.
The warning
On a 1997-1998 Park Avenue, GC37580 is not a replacement cap or replacement part; it fits only where the Buick's gas door is present.
Stand-alone listing
There's no other Park Avenue trim cross-listed on this sheet. For anything else that might suit your car, call and ask.
Why it's simple
It's a single part with no hardware, laid over the Park Avenue's existing fuel door, so nothing is drilled. QAA states the tape holds for a lifetime without damage to the vehicle's surface.
Older-car checklist
- The fuel door opens freely and latches flush.
- The paint on its face is intact: no peeling, no chalky oxidation, no bubbling.
- Any repairs are finished and fully cured before you start.
The tape bonds to the paint, so these checks decide how well it holds.
Preparing the surface
Wash, rinse, and wipe with degreaser. On a car this age, repeat the degreaser until the cloth comes away clean of old wax. Let it dry.
Placing it
Door closed, liner on. Set the trim in place and move it until the paint showing around it is even all around. Ask someone to hold it while you look from a few feet away. Mark the spot with painter's tape on the body.
Finishing
Peel the liner, align with your mark, and press firmly across the full face. Press again after a minute. Open the door slowly to check it clears. Detailed steps are on the Installation tab.
The finish
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, reflective accent. At 26 gauge it's thin sheet, so the Park Avenue's door thickness hardly changes.
Why a single accent
On an older sedan, small bright details are an easy way to freshen the look without changing anything permanent. The fuel door is a self-contained panel, so the trim doesn't have to line up with anything else on the car. Because nothing is drilled, the body underneath stays as it was. It's a single stainless piece for the Park Avenue.
A note on centering
On a part this size, even a slight tilt is easy to notice. Take your time on the dry fit, checking straight on and from an angle, and adjust in small moves before peeling the liner.
Install conditions
A mild, dry day, ideally under cover. Keep the door dry overnight.
Care
Gentle soap and a soft cloth. Wipe off fuel drips after a fill-up.

Installation tips: Gas Door Cover Trim
- Confirm your vehicle still has its original gas door. This trim mounts over it and does not replace it.
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
