Product Description
Buick Enclave 2008-2017 Polished Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC48530)
Ten model years of the Buick Enclave 4-door SUV, 2008 through 2017, share this fuel door accent. GC48530 is one piece of 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, polished bright, made in the USA. 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds it on the Enclave. When phoning 877-752-3811 about your Enclave, quote GC48530.
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 face of your Enclave's own door, so a damaged or missing door has to be replaced first.
Three pillar sets to choose from
The only other Enclave parts cross-listed here are pillar post trims, and there are three of them: PP48530 with four pieces, PP48531 with six, and PP48532 with eight. The catalog doesn't say which posts the additional pieces cover in the larger sets. The best way to decide is to open each listing and compare the photos, or call and describe the look you're after. Whichever you pick, check its listing for its finish to see how it pairs with the gas door trim along the side of the SUV.
If you plan to do both, the gas door trim makes a good first step. It's one flat piece with no second piece to match, so it installs quickly and shows you how the stainless looks against your paint before you commit to six or eight pillar pieces.
Bond and paint
GC48530 installs directly over the existing surface; there's no drilling. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. That bond is only as good as the paint. Inspect the gas door for dull or flaking clear coat, chips at the edges, and bubbles, and get them repaired before installing. Make sure the door closes fully and flush.
Fitting
Wash the door with soap and water, rinse, dry, and degrease until a clean cloth shows nothing. Try the trim in place with the liner still on, shifting it until the paint margin is even all around, then mark it with painter's tape. Peel the liner, align with the tape, and press the trim down firmly over its whole face; repeat the pressure a minute later. Open the door gently to check it clears. The Installation tab has the complete steps.
Before you order
Confirm the vehicle is an Enclave, that its model year falls between 2008 and 2017, and that its gas door is intact. If any of those is uncertain, call before ordering. Compare your model year with that span.
Finish and care
Polished 304 stainless is reflective and bright, and at 26 gauge it stays slim on the door. Install on a mild, dry day and let it set overnight. Clean with mild 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.
