Product Description
Jeep Liberty 2008-2012 Polished Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC48070)
For the 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty 4-door SUV, GC48070 puts a polished stainless face on the fuel door. It's one piece of 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, made in the USA, and the back is lined with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. The listing covers five model years on a single Fitment row.
It is not a replacement cap and not a replacement part. You MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. The stainless bonds to your Liberty's own door; a broken or missing door needs replacing first.
Liberty parts with a logo cut-out
Two of the cross-listed pieces stand out because their notes say "With Logo Cut Out." LB48070 is a one-piece license bar, an accent above the plate, and MI48070 is a four-piece body molding insert kit at 1.5 inches. The photos on those listings show where the cut-outs fall. This gas door trim has no such note.
A Sport-only grille piece
SGC48070, a one-piece grill overlay, is tagged "SPORT only." If your Liberty is a different trim, that one isn't listed for it, even though this gas door trim fits all 2008-2012 Liberty 4-door SUVs on the row. Check your Liberty's trim level before ordering the grille piece. Your purchase paperwork should name the trim level; if it doesn't, call and we'll help you work it out.
The rest
LP48070 is a one-piece license plate bezel and RD48070 a one-piece rear deck accent at 1.5 inches. PP48070 and PP48071 are four- and six-piece pillar sets; QAA doesn't explain the additional pair, so compare photos or call. TH48070 and WS48070 are cross-listed by number without details here.
Fastening
GC48070 installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Because that bond is to the paint, look over the door for weathered or peeling clear coat, chips at the edge, and bubbles, and repair them before you begin. Make sure the door closes flush.
Install notes
Clean the door with soap and water, rinse, dry, and degrease. With the liner on, hold the trim against the closed door, shifting it until the border of paint is even all the way around. Mark it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, line up, and press firmly over the whole surface, then repeat after a minute. Open the door slowly to check it clears. The Installation tab has the full process.
Starting small
Of all the Liberty parts above, this is the quickest: a single flat overlay with no partner piece. It's a good way to see the polished finish on your Jeep before committing to larger kits.
Finish and care
Polished 304 stainless is bright and reflective, and 26 gauge keeps it slim. Install on a mild, dry day and leave it dry overnight. Clean with gentle 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.
