Product Description
Ford Escape 2013-2019 Gas Door Trim with Finger Grip Notch (GC53360)
GC53360 fits the Ford Escape 4-door SUV from 2013 through 2019, and its outline isn't a plain shape. The catalog note reads "With notch for finger grip contour," meaning the stainless has a notch that follows the finger grip on the fuel door. The product photos show where it falls. Seven model years share the single Fitment row.
For the 2013-2019 Escape, the trim is a single polished 304 stainless piece, 26 gauge, made in the USA, that mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. It is not a replacement cap or replacement part; the Escape's existing gas door must stay, since the trim sits on top of it.
If you're also looking at pillar trim, this Escape sheet has a long list of pillar choices, and the deciding detail is the keyless entry touch pad. Here's how the described sets line up:
- With the keyless entry touch pad: PP53360 (four pieces), PP53361 (six pieces, "Sheer three sides") and PP53363 (ten pieces, which also includes the front triangle piece).
- Without the touch pad: PP53364 (four pieces) and PP53365 (six pieces, "Sheer three sides").
- PP53362, eight pieces, is noted as including the rear pillar piece (its note reads "rear rear," which we've flagged as a typo), with nothing said about the touch pad.
So check whether your Escape has the keypad on the pillar before choosing; a quick look at your door pillars settles it, and the photos on each listing show how the touch pad is handled. PP53366, PP53367, RD53360, TH53360, TP53360, WQ53360 and WS53360 are also cross-listed, by number only, and DH53360 is a four-piece door handle accent set.
Back to the gas door piece. The notch makes alignment easier than with a flat plate: during the dry fit, with the liner still on, line the notch up with the finger grip first, then confirm the rest of the outline leaves an even strip of paint. If the notch and grip won't line up, call before peeling anything.
GC53360 installs directly over the existing surface, so there's no drilling, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Paint condition is the deciding factor for any taped part, so repair flaking or faded clear coat, chips and bubbles first, paying attention to the area around the grip. Clean with soap and water, dry, and degrease; mark the aligned position with painter's tape; peel, place, and press firmly along the face and the notch edge, then again after a minute. Use the grip to open the door slowly and check it works as before. The Installation tab has more.
Polished 304 stainless reflects light brightly, and 26 gauge keeps it thin. Install on a mild, dry day, keep it dry overnight, and clean it afterward with mild soap and a soft cloth, wiping away 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.
