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

[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

Here goes

You pry/remove the original gas well with a plastic putty knife. It just snaps in.

You get a template and drill 5 hole around the edge. You get 5 speed nuts that go in the holes and stop.
There are 4 plastic fingers and 1 metal guide stud.
You light put the unit with the outer bezel on, until it stop. Open the door and from the inside there are 5 holes in the side, use a "L" shape allen wrench and hold each speed nut and put till it snaps to all five. You will know it's seated when the rubber washer around the bezel is flat..easy

I was kinda hoping it was black. I want to do all black accessories on my Slate Blue ride.

The only thing is re-packaging to include the lock cap. To many people complained. Price may only raise a few buck only THAT IS ALL

I think I know who is getting the next load of them.

[H3Lady]

bought it seperate.

165.00 for a gas cap... Thats insane

[H3OH]

H3Lady knows as she has one.

Thanks Georgemarc. Does it look like H3Lady's or is it a custom H2 to H3 job? I only ask that as my dealer said it's either custom or aftermarket knock-off as the "licensed" ones have been recalled.

[Georgemarc]

Yes, go for it and lets see after install

[H3OH]

Any news to the recall of the gas doors H3Lady? Could you find that out tomorrow as well?

Thanks!

[Georgemarc]

It is the same as H3Lady's and I believe it a custom H2 to H3 job, looks good.
Will get a closer pic of it out here soon

[H3Lady]

msrp is 165.00

you can have it black powder coated.

[H3Lady]

For 18.00 do it. If he goofes, it's a new fender or cap he will need.

it only take 15 minutes to do...really

if you push it on crooked, you can't remove it. it will break the pins....

[H3Lady]

Just a reflection, it is bright chrome and boy does it look good. I have the locking cap too inside.

it will keep out the elements and keep this area clean.

hey, if you had the dollars you could have the door power coated or black chromed. It does seperate from the bezel easy BEFORE INSTALLATION

[Georgemarc]

Yes, mine says Hummer and I got it at Sewell Dallas about two weeks ago

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..

Very nice. How much $$?

Could someone please also post a pic of the lockable fuel-cap (not the door), which comes with the H3 chrome fuel door?

[H3OH]

Well, sure enough, something is up. They're no longer available..something about a "recall" on them due to the assembly of them. I'm being told late August, but they're not sure. All they had were the horizontal line aftermarket ones that lock on the outside.

H3Lady, can you comment on this? All they have now are the aftermarket ones...not the ones that say Hummer on them. When they called GM Parts, they're telling them that they have only been released to GM Manufacturing and not dealers. I'm sure Georgemarcs is the one that says Hummer on it. I know yours is too. Hmmm.

Here are photos of the GM Hummer chrome fuel cover (GM Part number 12499618) that we had installed this past Thursday by our dealer. It seems to have the same textured outer bezel that H3Lady described. It is attached by 5 screws, and I think they did a good job on the install. I feel lucky that we were able to find one, and hope there is not a problem with the design, assembly, etc.

Thanks for the photo, H3Lady... and thanks for the info, H3OH.

Damn... that cap is ugly. But still I would love to have it. Don't feel comfortable with my tank wide open for everyone who (for whatever reason) wants to play around with it.
