For the 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander 4-door SUV, GC22185 is a one-piece polished stainless cover for the gas door. It's 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Gas door warning
For the 2001-2007 Highlander, GC22185 is a trim cover only, not a replacement cap or part. The SUV must still have its own gas door for this piece to install.
Vehicle
Toyota Highlander, 2001-2007, 4-door SUV. Seven model years on a single row. The Fitment tab confirms it.
A full window package is available
The standout listing for this Highlander is WP24110, a 22-piece window trim package. Its note calls it the FULL package: upper trim, pillar posts and window sills together. If you want everything around the windows done at once, that's the one to look at.
If you'd rather build it piece by piece, the separate listings are:
- PP24110: four-piece pillar post trim.
- PP24111: six-piece pillar post trim.
- PP24109: eight-piece pillar post trim.
- WS24110: four-piece window sill set.
QAA doesn't say what the larger Highlander pillar sets include, so compare photos. Note that the matching parts are numbered in the 24109-24111 range rather than matching this gas door's number; they're cross-listed here for the same Highlander.
Side molding insert
TH24110 is a four-piece rocker panel insert kit, noted as side molding, 1 inch.
Installation without tools
The Highlander trim goes directly over the gas door as it is now, with no drilling. According to QAA, its tape holds for a lifetime without damaging the vehicle's surface.
Check the surface
Look at the fuel door in good light. On an SUV from these years, sun and weather may have worn the paint. Chips, chalky oxidation or lifting clear coat should be repaired first, since the tape bonds to the paint itself. Make sure the door also closes flush.
Fitting sequence
Start by washing and rinsing the door face. Next, wipe it with degreaser and wait until it's dry. Then do a dry fit: liner on, door closed, trim held in place while you look for an even border. Mark the spot with painter's tape on the body. Peel, align and press, working outward from the center, and repeat the press after a minute. Test the door by opening it slowly. The Installation tab has the full steps.
Where to start
A 22-piece package is a bigger afternoon with many pieces to align. The gas door trim is one part and doesn't depend on that decision, so you can put it on first and see the polished finish against your Highlander's paint. If you like it, the window package or the separate pillar and sill sets are the next step.
About the steel
304 stainless, polished bright. 26 gauge is a thin sheet, keeping the overlay slim.
Weather and care
Install in mild, dry conditions and keep it dry overnight. To clean, use mild soap and a soft cloth, and wipe off fuel drips.

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.
