Product Description
Prius C Gas Door Trim, 2012-2019, Polished 304 Stainless (GC12705)
GC12705 is made for one car: the Toyota Prius C 4-door hatchback, model years 2012 through 2019. It's a single polished stainless overlay that sits on the face of the fuel door, turning a painted panel into a bright accent on the side of the car.
First, what it isn't
This is not a replacement cap or a replacement part. You MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. It's decorative trim that bonds to the door you already have.
Spec sheet in plain words
Material: 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, polished. Origin: made in the USA. Pieces: one. Mounting: 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, and the part installs directly over the existing surface. That last point means nothing gets drilled and the door stays on the car the whole time. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle.
Fitment
Toyota Prius C, 2012-2019, 4-door hatchback. Eight model years on one row. The Fitment tab lists it exactly.
The Prius C has a deep pillar lineup
One thing stands out on this sheet: the Prius C has five pillar post sets cross-listed, more than many cars get.
- PP12705: 4 pieces
- PP12706: 6 pieces
- PP12707: 8 pieces
- PP12708: 10 pieces
- PP12709: 12 pieces
QAA doesn't say which window posts each additional pair covers, so use each listing's photos to see the coverage before choosing. Also cross-listed: TH12705, a four-piece lower rocker kit on the doors only, spanning from the bottom of the door up to a 1.5-inch width, and WS12705, a four-piece window sill set. LB12705, RD12705, LP12705 and RB12705 round out the rear, each on its own page.
Small part, careful placement
Because the fuel door is small, any offset shows. Set the trim on the closed door with the liner on and judge the gap around the edge. Adjust until it's even, then mark the position with painter's tape on the surrounding body panel.
Install routine
Wash, rinse, degrease, dry. Peel the liner, line up with your mark, and press firmly across the entire face, working toward the edges. Wait a minute and press again. Swing the door open and shut slowly to check clearance. The Installation tab covers it step by step.
After it's on
Keep it dry overnight. Wash with mild soap and a soft cloth from then on, and wipe up fuel drips after filling.
Why stainless on a fuel door
Polished 304 stainless gives a bright, mirror-like face that contrasts with painted body color. On one small panel the effect is subtle rather than loud, which makes a gas door accent an easy first piece for the Prius C. If you like it, the pillar, rocker and sill listings above use the same idea on a larger scale.
Quick order check
It's a Prius C, not another Prius model. It's a 2012-2019. The original gas door is present and closes flush.

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.
