Product Description
2013-2018 Toyota Avalon Stainless Gas Door Accent (GC13165)
On a sedan like the Toyota Avalon, the fuel door sits on a clean stretch of rear quarter panel. GC13165 puts a single piece of mirror-polished 304 stainless steel on that door. It's listed for the Avalon 4-door sedan, model years 2013 through 2018, and it's made in the USA.
Fit details
Toyota Avalon, 2013-2018, 4-door sedan. One row on the Fitment tab, six model years.
Gas door warning
This is not a replacement cap, and it's not a replacement part. You MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. Your filler and cap stay as they are.
Construction
The steel is 26 gauge. The Avalon trim is polished and held on with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. It 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.
Avalon pillar sets: what the notes say
Many shoppers pair a gas door accent with pillar trim. Four Avalon pillar post options are listed here, and two carry notes on what's included:
- PP13165: four pieces.
- PP13166: six pieces.
- PP13167: eight pieces, noted as including the rear triangle piece.
- PP13168: ten pieces, noted as including the front triangle piece.
The catalog doesn't spell out the difference between the four- and six-piece sets, so compare the photos.
Other Avalon listings
TH13165 is a four-piece rocker panel insert kit, noted as side molding, at 1.187 inches. RD13165 is a one-piece rear deck accent and LP13165 a license plate bezel. RB13165, TR13165 and WQ13165 are also cross-listed; check their own pages for details.
Before you peel the liner
Close the fuel door and make sure it sits flush with the body. Test-fit the trim and look for an even border all the way around. Mark your position on the quarter panel with a small piece of painter's tape. Then wash the door face, rinse, degrease, and dry completely.
Pressing it on
Remove the liner, set the trim against your mark, and press firmly over its full surface. Give it a second firm pass after a minute. Open the door slowly to check it clears the body. The Installation tab has the complete procedure.
Timing and care
Install on a mild, dry day and keep the area dry overnight. Upkeep is mild soap and a soft cloth. If fuel splashes on it at the pump, wipe it off.
Planning around the triangles
If pillar trim might follow, decide now whether the triangle pieces appeal. Per their notes, the eight-piece set has the rear triangle and the ten-piece set the front triangle. The gas door accent goes on the same way no matter which pillar set you choose, so it's an easy first step while you decide.
Is it the right listing?
Yes if your car is a 2013-2018 Avalon sedan with its original gas door in place and working.

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.
