Product Description
Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy 2002-2009 Polished Fuel Door Cover (GC42290)
Two nameplates share this part. The title names the 2002-2009 Chevy Trailblazer and the GMC Envoy, and the Fitment tab lists both for that span, 2002 through 2009, as 4-door SUVs. That's eight model years for each, so either SUV in that window is covered.
GC42290 is a single cover of 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, with a polished face. It's made in the USA and held with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
The essential warning: this is not a replacement cap and not a replacement part. You MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. It sticks onto the face of your current door. If that door is gone, cracked, or won't latch, sort it out before buying trim.
Trailblazer and Envoy owners should also note what isn't on this page. No rocker, pillar, or handle parts are cross-listed with GC42290, so the sheet gives us nothing to suggest as a matching set. That's a gap in the listing, not proof that nothing exists; a quick call will tell you what else is available for your SUV.
Here's how the trim goes on. It installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The adhesive, though, is only as good as the paint it grips. Look over the gas door in good light. Peeling or cloudy clear coat, nicks around the perimeter, and bubbling all weaken the bond and should be repaired before the trim goes on.
Prep is simple: wash with soap and water, rinse, dry, then degrease the door's face until a clean cloth wipes clean. Next, with the liner still covering the tape, hold the cover against the closed door and slide it around until the paint visible around its edge is uniform. Put a strip or two of painter's tape on the body as a guide. Pull the liner, line the trim up with your guide, and lay it down in one confident motion. Press firmly across all of it, wait a minute, and press again. Finally, open the door slowly and make sure it moves without catching. The Installation tab repeats these steps with more detail.
About the metal: the polished 304 finish gives this cover a bright, reflective look. At 26 gauge the sheet is thin, so the door's profile barely changes and it closes as before when the trim is fitted properly.
Afterward, keep the car dry overnight so the tape can set, and choose a mild day to install. Routine care is just mild soap and a soft cloth, plus wiping off any fuel that splashes onto the trim.
Before you order, confirm three things: your vehicle is a Trailblazer or Envoy, its model year is between 2002 and 2009, and the gas door is intact. If any of that is in doubt, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and mention GC42290. The UPC is on the Specs tab.

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.
