Product Description
2004-2008 Nissan Maxima Sedan Polished Gas Door Trim (GC24540)
GC24540 is a one-piece stainless cover for the fuel door of the 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima 4-door sedan. The steel is 304 stainless, 26 gauge, polished; the part is made in the USA; and it mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
A must-read
This is not a replacement cap and not a replacement part. You MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. The trim covers that door's outer face; it doesn't replace any component.
Fitment
Nissan Maxima, 2004-2008, 4-door sedan. One row, five model years. The Fitment tab has it.
Around the license plate
This Maxima has two separate plate-area listings, which can be confusing at first:
- LP24540: a one-piece license plate bezel.
- LPS24540: a two-piece license plate surround trim.
The catalog doesn't explain how the two differ beyond piece count and name, so compare their photos before choosing. RD24540, a one-piece rear deck accent at 2.1 inches, is the other rear piece listed.
Logo decals and mirrors
SGR24540 is a "MAXIMA" logo decal, sold as a set of two. SGR24541 is also listed; check its page for details. MC24540 is a two-piece mirror cover set.
Pillars and more
PP24540 (four pieces) and PP24541 (six pieces) are the pillar post options. QAA doesn't say what the two additional pieces cover, so the photos are your guide. TH24540, WP24540, WP24545, WQ24540 and WS24540 are cross-listed too.
How it mounts
On the 2004-2008 Maxima, it fits over the existing gas door with no drilling. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime and causes no damage to the sedan's surface.
Older paint
The adhesive bonds to the paint on the fuel door. On a Maxima of this age, that paint may have faded, chipped, or worn thin at the edges from years of polishing. Check closely and repair any problems first. Make sure the door also latches and sits flush.
Installation
Clean the door face with soap and water, rinse, and degrease. Once it's dry, close the door and position the trim with its liner still on. Aim for an equal band of paint on every side. Mark the location on the body with painter's tape. Remove the liner, line up, and press firmly over the whole piece. Press again after a minute. Open the door to confirm it clears. The Installation tab gives the full steps.
Centering help
A second person makes the dry fit much easier: one holds, one stands back and judges. Small moves matter on a part this size.
About the steel
304 stainless, polished to a mirror finish. 26 gauge is a thin sheet, keeping the overlay slim on a door that swings open and shut.
Conditions and care
Fit the Maxima trim in mild, dry weather and keep it dry overnight. Mild soap and a soft cloth keep it bright after that; wipe fuel drips away.
Small first step
The gas door is the quickest item in this Maxima lineup. Doing it first lets you see the polished finish on your paint before choosing mirror covers, decals or pillar trim.

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.
