Product Description
Ford Focus 2015-2018 Sedan Polished Stainless Gas Door Trim (GC55345)
For the Ford Focus 4-door sedan from 2015 through 2018, GC55345 is the stainless accent made for the fuel door. Four model years share its single Fitment row, and it's tagged for the sedan only, so a Focus with a different body isn't covered by this listing. The trim is one piece of 304 stainless steel, 26 gauge, polished, made in the USA, and with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape.
It is not a replacement cap and not a replacement part. You MUST have the existing gas door to install this piece. It's a cover for the door that's already on the car, not a stand-in for one that's broken.
Two rocker kits are cross-listed for this Focus sedan, and they go in different places. TH55346 is a two-piece kit that sits on the rocker and installs below the door, 1.25 inches wide. TH55345 is an eight-piece lower kit that spans from the bottom of the door up to the specified width, with a tapered width that the note gives as 0.875 inches at one end; the other figure in the note has a stray space in it, so we've flagged it, and you should call for the exact upper width before ordering that kit.
The rest of the described list gives you options at the back of the car and along the sides: LP55345, a one-piece license plate bezel; RB55345, a one-piece rear bumper trim accent; RD55345, a one-piece rear deck accent; MI55345, a four-piece body molding insert kit; and WQ55345, a four-piece wheel well accent set. LB55345 and WQ55346 are also cross-listed, by number only.
Starting with the gas door piece makes sense if you're new to this kind of trim. It's a single flat overlay with no partner to match, and it shows you the polished finish on your Focus's paint in a few minutes.
GC55345 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. Tape depends on paint, though, so inspect the door first: fading, peeling or cloudy clear coat, chips on the edge, and small bubbles should all be repaired. Make sure the door shuts flush as well.
For a clean result, wash the door with soap and water, rinse, and let it dry, then degrease the face. Hold the trim against the closed door with its liner on and slide it until the strip of paint around it is even. Mark the spot with painter's tape. Peel the liner, line the trim up with the tape, and press firmly across the whole face, then press again after a minute or so. Open the door slowly to make sure nothing catches. The Installation tab gives the full sequence.
Polished 304 stainless is bright and reflective, and the 26 gauge sheet is very thin. Install on a mild, dry day and let it set overnight. Clean with mild soap and a soft cloth, and wipe off 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.
