Product Description
Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2007-2013 Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC47181)
The title names the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and the Fitment tab lists both trucks over those same seven years. Both rows list 2-door and 4-door pickup trucks, so cab style isn't a factor for this part.
For the Silverado or Sierra, GC47181 is a single polished 304 stainless piece, 26 gauge and made in the USA, fixed with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
GC47181 is not a replacement cap or a replacement part. The Silverado or Sierra must keep its existing gas door, because the trim mounts on that door's face.
Tailgate handle kits: three choices
Three two-piece tailgate handle cover kits are cross-listed, and their notes are what separate them. DH47182 includes key access. DH47183 does not include key access. DH47184 includes camera access. If your tailgate handle has a keyhole, a camera, or neither, that tells you which to look at. All three carry a note reading "Door Handle Cover" or "Door Handle Trim," which doesn't match a tailgate kit, so each listing's photos are the best confirmation.
Cab-specific pieces
Unlike this gas door trim, the sill parts are tied to particular cabs. WS47181 is a two-piece window sill set for the 2-door Regular Cab. WS47185 is a four-piece window sill set for the 4-door Extended Cab, also labeled Extra Cab. DS47184 is a four-piece door sill set for the 4-door Crew Cab, 3.5 inches wide. Match the kit to your cab before ordering.
DH47181, an eight-piece door handle cover kit, is tagged both for the 2-door Regular Cab and for 4-door trucks, and its note says it does not include passenger key access. Call if you're unsure whether it suits your handles.
Start simple
The gas door piece is the one part here that doesn't depend on cab or handle type, and it's a single flat overlay, so it's a quick first project before the multi-piece kits.
Attachment
GC47181 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. Strong adhesion needs good paint, so check the door for faded or peeling clear coat, chips at its edges, and bubbles, and repair those before installing. The door should latch and sit flush.
Fitting it
Wash, rinse and dry the door, then degrease it. Hold the trim on the closed door with the liner attached and move it until the paint showing around it is even. Mark the spot with painter's tape. Peel, place, and press firmly across the whole face; press again after a minute. Open the door slowly to check clearance. The Installation tab has the details.
Finish and care
On the GM truck, polished 304 stainless reads bright and reflective, and 26 gauge keeps the overlay low. Fit it on a mild, dry day and give it the night to set. Mild soap and a soft cloth keep it clean, and fuel drips should be wiped off.

Installation tips: Gas Cap Door 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.
