Product Description
Honda Pilot 2009-2015 Stainless Gas Door Cover Trim (GC29260)
GC29260 is a fuel door trim for the Honda Pilot 4-door SUV, model years 2009 through 2015. The Pilot trim is one polished 304 stainless piece, 26 gauge, made in the USA. Fitting it to the Pilot takes the 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape on its reverse.
Check your Pilot's year
The fitment row is Honda Pilot, 2009-2015, 4-door SUV. If your Pilot is newer than that range, this listing doesn't cover it. Check your Pilot is a 2009 to 2015 model. The Fitment tab shows the row.
Not a replacement cap
GC29260 is a cover for the 2009-2015 Pilot's gas door, not a replacement cap or part, so the SUV has to keep its existing door.
A tidy set of matches
The Pilot sheet lists six other parts, which makes a matched set easy to plan:
- PP29260: four-piece pillar post trim.
- PP29261: six-piece pillar post trim.
- WS29260: four-piece window sill set.
- WQ29260: four-piece wheel well accent trim.
- MI29260: four-piece body molding insert kit, 0.75 inches.
- LP29260: license plate bezel.
QAA doesn't say what PP29261's two additional pillar pieces cover, so compare the photos.
Mounting
On the Pilot, the gas door trim goes over the current surface with no drilling. QAA says that tape will hold for a lifetime and leave the vehicle's surface undamaged.
On an SUV that's seen some miles
Fuel doors collect grime, and paint on an older SUV may have chips or sun-fade. Look carefully at the door face and repair anything that's flaking before you install, because the tape bonds to the paint. Also confirm the door latches and sits flush.
Cleaning
Soap and water, rinse, then a degreaser wipe until the cloth comes up clean. Let it dry completely.
Fitting it
With the liner on and the door shut, rest the trim in place and nudge it until the visible paint around it is even. A helper holding it while you step back makes the call easier. Mark a corner on the body with painter's tape. Peel the liner, set the piece to the mark, and press it down firmly everywhere. Press again a minute later. Open the door gently to confirm clearance. The Installation tab has full steps.
Finish
Polished 304 stainless has a bright, mirror-like look; 26 gauge keeps it thin on the door.
Weather and care
Mild, dry day; keep it dry overnight. Clean with gentle soap and a soft cloth, and wipe off any fuel splashes.
Where to start
The gas door is the simplest piece in this set: one flat part, done in minutes, with nothing else to match. Once it's on, you'll know how polished stainless looks against your Pilot's paint, which makes it easier to decide on pillars, sills or wheel well accents. Every one of those listings uses four or six pieces, so they take more time and more careful alignment than this single piece.

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.
