Product Description
Cadillac Escalade SUV and ESV 2021-2026 Gas Door Trim (GC61255)
GC61255 fits the fuel door of the Cadillac Escalade SUV and ESV, both listed on one Fitment row as a 4-door SUV, for model years 2021 through 2026, six years in total. It's a one-piece accent of polished 304 stainless steel at 26 gauge, made in the USA, and it mounts 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, because the trim mounts to the face of that door and depends on it entirely.
The cross-listed parts on this sheet are few. RW61255 is a two-piece rear window trim and SG61255 is a two-piece front grille accent trim, both for the same 4-door SUV body. So the gas door piece is a natural start: one flat part, on in a few minutes, and it shows how polished stainless reads against your Escalade's paint before you decide on trim at the grille or rear glass.
There's no drilling here. The trim installs directly over the existing surface, and QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. Tape can only grip what the paint gives it, though. Inspect the door before you begin, and repair any chips at the edge, any lifting or hazy clear coat, and any bubbles. The door also needs to close flush with the surrounding panel so the trim doesn't rub.
Prep goes like this. Wash the door with soapy water, rinse it off and dry it fully, and then wipe it with a degreaser to strip wax and film. With the liner still in place, set the trim on the closed door and shift it until the visible paint margin is even top to bottom and side to side. Painter's tape at two or three corners will hold the position. Peel the liner, line the part up with the marks, and press firmly across the entire face, then press again after a minute or so. Swing the door open slowly to make sure it clears the body. The Installation tab repeats these steps in more detail, including the temperature range to work in.
Because the Escalade SUV and ESV share a single row on the sheet, the same part number applies to both lengths for 2021 through 2026; there's no separate ESV version to choose. If you aren't certain of your model year, your records will tell you.
Polished 304 stainless has a bright, reflective finish, and at 26 gauge the overlay stays thin against the door. Plan the job for a dry, mild day and wait overnight before washing so the tape can set. Care is mild soap and a soft cloth, plus a quick wipe after fueling so drips don't dry on the surface.

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.
