Gas cap trim

It fit into the hole, I had to do some trimming off the back in order to rotate it to line up for the screw holes.

Great fitment

I was replacing the fuel tank hoses so might as well!!

Perfect fit & easy to install

Perfect fit and easy to install. It took longer to get my tools out than the replacement

Like new

Looks like new again!

Perfect

Perfect fit and finish. Good as OEM.

Easy and inexpensive dress up for your van

Fairly easy install, 1) remove gas cap, 2) remove the 3 screws, and 3) reach behind and rotate old trim approximately 30 degrees. Installation is of course reverse order. Would recommend wetting new trim piece with Simple Green prior to installation and replacing the 3 screws with stainless steel ones.

Gas Cap Trim Vanagon

Same as original parts. Remove the three screws holding filler neck to trim (lubricate with penetrating oil if needed), use a flat blade screwdriver and rubber mallet to carefully rotate old trim and release, install new trim in the same fashion.

It is a nicely made product

Only issue I had, was with my bodywork guy; he forgot to install the new one, so I don't know how it fits and I was worried about pulling the old one off, after the paint when on.... ...maybe I will up date with a photo, if I ever get this thing on the van.
