Product Description
Dodge Caliber 2007-2012 Hatchback Polished Gas Door Trim (GC47950)
GC47950 fits the Dodge Caliber 4-door hatchback from 2007 through 2012, six model years on one Fitment row. It gives the Caliber's fuel door a polished 304 stainless face: one piece, 26 gauge, made in the USA. The Caliber overlay is bonded using 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 door you already have and can't replace a damaged one.
A long list of Caliber trim
This sheet cross-lists a good number of Caliber parts, all tagged for the 4-door hatchback, so it's worth knowing what's there:
- LP47950, a one-piece license plate bezel, and LPS47950, a one-piece license plate surround. They're separate parts, so compare the photos to decide which look you want.
- MC47950, a two-piece mirror cover set.
- PP47950, PP47951 and PP47952, pillar post sets of four, six and eight pieces. QAA doesn't describe what the additional pieces cover.
- RW47950, a two-piece rear window trim.
Five more, SGR47950, TH47950, TH47951, WQ47950 and WS47950, are cross-listed by number only, without details on this sheet.
Where to start
With this many options, the gas door trim is the natural first piece. It's one flat part and needs no matching, so it goes on quickly and lets you see the polished finish on your Caliber's paint before you commit to an eight-piece pillar set or rocker trim. It's one stainless piece.
Checklist before ordering
Three quick checks can save time later. First, the vehicle is a Dodge Caliber, the 4-door hatchback listed here. Second, its model year falls between 2007 and 2012; your records will tell you. Third, the gas door is on the car, undamaged, and closes properly. If all three are true, this listing matches.
On the tape
GC47950 installs directly over the existing surface, with no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The bond depends on the paint, so inspect the door: chalky, peeling or hazy clear coat, chips at the edges, and bubbles should all be repaired first. Make sure the door closes flush.
Fitting it
Wash, rinse and dry the door; then degrease. Place the trim on the closed door with the liner still attached and center it so the strip of paint around it is even. Mark the spot with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align with the marks, and press firmly across the entire face, then again a minute later. Open the door slowly to confirm it clears. The Installation tab has more.
Finish and care
Polished 304 stainless is bright and reflective; at 26 gauge it's slim on the door. Install on a mild, dry day and let it set overnight. Clean with gentle soap and a soft cloth, and wipe away 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.
