Here is the Chrome Gas Door for H3 - Don't be Fooled

[Georgemarc]

Heres the cap on the Boulder Grey, definitely worth the expense

[H3Lady]

I will get you the gm number tomorrow.

Mine is the 100% one made for the H3, not converted from H2, there is a big dif.

Look at the bezel around the chrome, it matches the trim on the H3.

I am calling monday to the right person at HQ my son know. I will find out what the problem is.
As for my cap and chrome door, it's perfect..and I can't see what wrong with it. If it is, I am blind. It is strong and plated well.

OH, that's it, maybe be a bad batch of plating.. I know they are picky on the plating...

[H3Lady]

I say that because a friend got a door from a dealer that was a retro-fitted H2 door. It was sloppy too.

Anyway here is the new door, notice that the outer bezel matches the texture of all the other plastic trim and bumpers on the H3.

I would say, if you are unsure of templates and drilling, have the dealer do it. If you read the directions and take it slowly and check twice drill once, you can do it.

ALSO A NOTE: ONCE YOU PUSH THE UNIT ON, YOU CANNOT REMOVE WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE. THE PUSH PINS ARE A ONE TIME DEAL.

Good luck

[H3Lady]

Some dealers are make their own packages with the locking cap.

The 189.00 with cap install is a super price.

Hi H3 lady
Can you give me the part number for the chrome gas cover with the locking cap.
I wont get my H3 for a month and hope to have the gas cap put on by my dealer.
Thanks, Turk.

[H3Lady]

srqhumdinger, that is the right one for the H3.

My son asked a few at HQ and no one knows of any problems with the chrome cap.

What we think is that the normal everyday person cannot install it by themselves.

Here is the cap alone - hope this helps...

That is wild. I was standing right there when the guy in the parts department called up the GM parts department and asked for that part number. He put it on speaker phone so I could hear, and he said only a few were sent out then they were recalled due to an assembly issue. What that issue is I have no clue, but I was standing right there and heard it direct. He could have easily fed me that info to get the one they had in stock, but did that and told me that it didn't matter which one I wanted.

I'll ask around.

[H3Lady]

I will get a lot of ?'s answered monday morning.

I have a number I can call to get the info direct.

The one above is a convered H2.

These rumors of accessories being recalled within days of realease are insane. GM really does not want this as i cost them money.

What was the reason for recall I alway ask?

Oh, HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONVERTED ONE,
THE GAS CUP WHICH IS THE BLACK TRIM RING AND INSIDE SECTION JUST SNAPS IN THE H3, THE CHROME DOOR IS TO HEAVY FOR THE TRIM PIECE. The real one for the H3 install with snap riviets and it 100% secure.

Great pic and advice, thank you H3Lady. This is appearing black in the pic, must be the light reflecting?

Hello H3Lady,
Does it attach with 2 screws??? Parts manager was mentioning it...I was just curious??? He said something about 2 screws and tape. The fit looks good.. I really like it.. </div></BLOCKQUOTE><span class="ev_code_blue">The dealer called me yesterday and told me they got their first shipment of 30 in. I asked them how much it would cost to install one just to get an idea on cost. He told me that it would cost approx. $18.00 for the dealer to install it. </span>

[BeerDog]

Thanks for the instructions... Doesn't sound at all like what the parts manager described.. It sounds like a real solid fit.. This will definately be my next purchase....

[H3Lady]

The only number I can get is the current without the cap.

I will ask...

H3Lady,

Thanks for the update! I thought you said in another post the door doesn't come with the lock? Are the substituting the door lock with the cap lock, or did you get one from somewhere else?

I love the look of it and will be getting it soon. I just need more ammunition when I go in and make sure I get all the parts for it (ie the locking cap and the door!)

Looks great! Thank you for sharing!

Just installed the "right" cover and it looks awesome. I to was sold the wrong one from my local dealership and thanks to you guys I new better than to put it on. I returned it today and they gave me the right one. I found it easier however to take the black fender well plastic out to reach behind for a tight fit. Anyway thanks for the knowledge. The only problem now is need more chrome to match it(my wife should love that). Good thing the mud washes off the chrome just as easy as off the paint.

Sorry, 2nd
