Product Description
Stainless Gas Door Trim for Escalade, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Avalanche (GC42255)
This listing's title runs from the 2002-2006 Cadillac Escalade through the Chevy Avalanche, Tahoe and Suburban and the GMC Yukon, and the fitment data attaches GC42255 to six rows across those three brands. Read the full list below before you decide whether it suits your vehicle, because some of the row data needs a second look.
It's one polished piece of 26 gauge 304 stainless, made in the USA. This Escalade trim mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. It is not a replacement cap and not a replacement part: you MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. It covers the face of the door you have; it does not replace a missing or damaged one.
Every row on the Fitment tab
- Cadillac Escalade, 2002-2006
- Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, 2002-2006
- Chevrolet Avalanche, 2007-2013 (the model name is stored in parentheses in the data)
- Chevrolet Suburban, 2007-2014
- Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002-2014
- GMC Yukon, 2007-2014
Each of those rows carries the same combined body description: 4-door, SUV, and "Pickup Truck; 2002-2006 Avalanche 1500 and 2007-2013 Avalanche." In other words, the pickup note belongs to the Avalanche rows, but it has been copied onto every line. We've flagged that for cleanup. Notice also the year ranges differ: Tahoe runs from 2002, while Suburban and Yukon start at 2007. If your vehicle is, say, an earlier Suburban or Yukon, it is not on this list, and you should call before ordering.
The catalog doesn't explain why one trim is listed across so many models; it simply lists them. So match both the model name and the model year on your vehicle against the rows above, rather than relying on the brand or the general shape of the truck.
Mounting and the paint underneath
GC42255 installs directly over the existing surface without drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. That promise rests on solid paint, so inspect the gas door before you begin. Fading, flaking clear coat, chips at the edges, or a door that won't sit flush all need attention first.
The fitting itself is straightforward. Clean the door with soap and water, dry it, then degrease the face. Hold the trim in place with the liner still attached and adjust it until an even band of paint shows all the way around. A helper standing a few steps back can judge the alignment better than you can up close. Mark the spot with painter's tape, peel the liner, position the trim, and press firmly over the whole surface, then press once more after a minute. Open the door slowly to confirm it clears. The Installation tab has the complete steps.
Finish
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, reflective accent, and the 26 gauge sheet stays thin on the door. Install on a dry, mild day and let it cure overnight. Wash with gentle soap and a soft cloth, and wipe away fuel spills promptly.

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.
