Product Description
2009-2014 Nissan Maxima Sedan Polished Gas Door Trim (GC29540)
GC29540 is a polished stainless overlay for the fuel door of the 2009-2014 Nissan Maxima 4-door sedan. It's one piece, 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, mounting with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
Requirement
GC29540 is not a replacement cap or a replacement part. The 2009-2014 Maxima has to keep its existing gas door for this piece to go on.
Fitment
Nissan Maxima, 2009-2014, 4-door sedan. Six model years on one row; see the Fitment tab.
A short, focused set
Five matching Maxima parts are cross-listed here:
- RD29540: rear deck accent, one piece, 1.5 inches.
- WQ29540: wheel well accent trim, four pieces.
- PP29540: pillar post trim, four pieces.
- PP29541: pillar post trim, six pieces.
- LP29540: license plate bezel.
QAA doesn't say what PP29541's two additional pieces cover, so look at its photos.
Holding power
On the Maxima, the trim goes over the existing gas door without drilling. Per QAA, the tape holds for a lifetime and won't damage the Nissan's surface.
Look at the door first
Swing the fuel door open and closed. It should move freely and sit flush. Then check the paint on its face: chips, fading, or lifting clear coat should be fixed before you begin, because the adhesive bonds to that paint.
Prep the surface
Wash with soapy water and rinse. Follow with a degreaser wipe to remove wax and road film, and let it dry completely.
Line it up
Leave the liner on. With the door shut, set the trim in place and shift it until the paint showing around it is equal all the way around. If you can, have someone hold it while you check from a few steps back. Mark one corner on the body with painter's tape.
Press it on
Peel the liner, line up with the mark, and press firmly from the center out to every edge. Wait a minute and press again. Open the door slowly to confirm it clears the body. The Installation tab has the full method.
The steel
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, reflective finish, and 26 gauge is thin sheet, so the Maxima's door gains almost no thickness and still closes flush.
Weather and care
Mild, dry day; dry overnight. Then gentle soap and a soft cloth, plus a wipe if fuel splashes on it.
Why a wheel well set pairs well
WQ29540 puts polished accents at the wheel wells, while the gas door trim is a single bright spot. Together they give a coordinated look without the time a pillar kit takes. The catalog doesn't describe the wheel well pieces in detail, so check the photos.
Sequence
Do the gas door first. It's a single flat piece and a quick preview of how the polish looks on your paint before you decide on the wheel well accents or pillar trim.

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.
