Product Description
Ford Five Hundred, Taurus, Mercury Montego and Sable Gas Door Trim (GC45490)
GC45490 is listed for four sedans across Ford and Mercury, and the title names all of them. The Fitment tab shows the Ford Five Hundred 2005-2007, the Ford Taurus 2008-2009, the Mercury Montego 2005-2007 and the Mercury Sable 2008-2009, all 4-door sedans. Two of those nameplates cover the earlier years and two the later ones, so match your car by name.
The year ranges deserve attention. The Five Hundred and Montego rows cover 2005-2007, while the Taurus and Sable rows cover only 2008-2009. A Taurus or Sable from outside those two years is not on this list, so check your model year before ordering, and call if it doesn't match.
The part is a single piece of 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge with a polished finish, made in the USA and fitted 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. The trim covers the face of your car's own door, so that door needs to be in place and in good order.
Cross-listed trim
LB45490 is a one-piece license bar, an accent that sits above the plate. RI45490 is a two-piece roof insert trim. TH45490 is a four-piece rocker trim that installs below the door, at 4.375 inches, and WZ45490 is a four-piece wheel well fender trim molding at 1.75 inches. The pillar sets are PP45490 (four pieces) and PP45491 (six pieces), and both are noted as including the keyless entry touch pad. The catalog doesn't say what the additional two pieces in PP45491 cover, so look at both listings' photos or call.
The companion lines on this sheet show only the body style, 4-door sedan, and not which of the four models each one fits, so confirm that on each listing or by phone. If you're planning a full set, start with the single-piece gas door trim; it's the quickest and shows the finish on your own paint before committing to more.
Mounting
GC45490 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. The tape bonds to paint, so the paint must be healthy: repair fading, peeling clear coat, chips, or bubbles before you begin, and make sure the door shuts flush.
Fitting it
Clean the door with soap and water, dry it, and degrease the face. Keeping the liner on, position the trim on the closed door so an even strip of paint shows around it, then mark that position with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align, and press firmly across the whole face, pressing again after a minute. Open the door slowly to confirm it clears. The Installation tab gives more detail.
Finish and care
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, reflective accent; 26 gauge keeps it thin. Install on a mild, dry day and let it set overnight. Clean with 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.
