Product Description
Kia Optima 2006.5-2010 Polished Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC27805)
GC27805 is a one-piece polished stainless cover for the fuel door of the Kia Optima 4-door sedan, and it comes with a build-date condition. The fitment row runs 2006-2010 but says it only fits vehicles made after June 2006, which is why the title calls it 2006.5-2010. The Optima trim is 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA. The Optima overlay mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Check your build date
If your Optima is a 2006, the model year alone doesn't settle it. The catalog says this part only fits vehicles made after June 2006. Check your build month and year against that note. Optimas from 2007 through 2010 fall inside the listed range. If you're unsure, call before ordering.
The same condition applies to every match
All seven matching Optima parts on this sheet carry the same after-June-2006 condition:
- WP27805: 12-piece window trim package, upper trim and pillar posts, no window sills.
- PP27805 and PP27806: pillar post trim in four and six pieces.
- RI27805: two-piece roof insert trim, 0.5 inches.
- TH27805: four-piece rocker trim installing below the door, on the rocker, 4.51 inches.
- TH27806: four-piece rocker panel insert kit, side molding, 1.5 inches.
- LP27805: license plate bezel, 7 inches.
Not a replacement cap
For the Optima, GC27805 is a cover, not a replacement cap or part. The Kia sedan has to keep its existing gas door to fit it.
Mounting
The Optima trim fits over the gas door's present surface, so there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime and cause no damage to the vehicle's surface.
Door and paint
Make sure the fuel door latches and sits flush. Look at its paint; chips, fading or peeling clear coat should be repaired first, as the adhesive grips the paint.
Install
Wash and rinse the door face, then degrease and let it dry. Hold the trim on the closed door, liner still on, and adjust until the paint border is even on all sides. Mark the spot with painter's tape on the body. Peel, set, and press firmly over the whole surface; press again after a minute. Open the door slowly to check it clears. The Installation tab has more.
Two rocker options
TH27805 sits below the door on the rocker and is the wider of the two at 4.51 inches. TH27806 is an insert kit for the side molding at 1.5 inches. They're different styles, so compare photos.
The finish
Polished 304 stainless gives the Optima's gas door a bright, mirror-like accent, and at 26 gauge the thin sheet barely changes the door's thickness.
Getting it centered
A helper makes the dry fit easier: one person holds the trim while the other steps back to judge the border from straight on and from an angle. Small moves, then mark.
Weather and care
Pick a mild, dry day and keep the door dry overnight. Afterward, gentle soap on a soft cloth cleans it; wipe fuel drips away.

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.
