Product Description
Stainless Gas Door Trim Listed for Town & Country, Grand Caravan, Routan, Aspen and Compass (GC48895)
The title gives one overall span, 2007-2020, and five names: Chrysler Aspen, Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, Jeep Compass and Volkswagen Routan. Each model has its own years on the Fitment tab, and parts of that list need checking before you order, so read the full picture here as well.
What the fitment rows say
- Chrysler Town & Country, 2008-2016
- Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008-2020
- Volkswagen Routan, 2009-2012
- Jeep Compass, 2011-2016
- Chrysler Aspen, 2007-2009, plus a second Aspen row for 2008-2009
Every row carries the same mixed body description, combining 4-door, SUV and minivan, so the data doesn't say which body each vehicle is. The two Aspen rows overlap, and the Compass and Aspen rows sit alongside three minivans on a single gas door part. We've flagged all of this for review. If you own an Aspen or a Compass in particular, please call before ordering so we can confirm the part against your vehicle. Minivan owners should still check that their model year falls inside the row for their nameplate.
The part
For the listed Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Volkswagen fits, GC48895 is one polished 304 stainless piece, 26 gauge, made in the USA, mounted with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
GC48895 is not a replacement cap or replacement part. Your vehicle's existing gas door must be in place, because the trim overlays it.
To check your vehicle, find its nameplate and model year and compare them with the list above. Quote GC48895 when you phone 877-752-3811 about your Chrysler Town & Country.
How it mounts
The trim installs directly over the existing surface, so nothing is drilled. 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 door's finish should be in good condition. Repair cloudy or peeling clear coat, edge chips and bubbles first, and confirm the door shuts flush.
A careful dry fit is especially worthwhile on a part listed for this many vehicles. With the liner still on, hold the trim against your closed fuel door and check that the outline matches the door with an even margin of paint all around. If it clearly doesn't match the shape of your door, stop there and call; don't peel the liner. If it does, mark the spot with painter's tape after washing, drying and degreasing the door. Then peel the liner, set the trim to your marks, and press firmly across the full face, with a second press after a minute. Open the door slowly to confirm clearance. The Installation tab has more.
Finish and care
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, reflective accent; at 26 gauge it stays thin. Install on a mild, dry day and let it set overnight. Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth, and wipe up 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.
