Suzuki Every DA64 Gas Tank Cover: Chrome Fuel Cap Guard
This gas tank cover is engineered for the 5th-generation Suzuki Every (DA64, 2005-2015). The ABS base carries an electroplated chrome finish, so the part works both as a protective guard over the fuel filler pocket and as a visible exterior accent. It mounts over the factory fuel cap area and shields the surrounding paintwork from key scratches and parking-lot scuffs common on fleet vans.
What the Cover Protects
Paint area immediately above and below the factory fuel cap
The horizontal body seam that runs across the fuel filler pocket
Both the van (DA64V) and wagon (DA64W) body styles with one profile
Why the Chrome Finish Matters to Buyers
Matches the chrome door handles and mirror covers already fitted on many DA64 trims
Electroplated surface holds its gloss better than painted plastic in high-UV markets
Delivers a factory-look upgrade without replacing the whole fuel filler panel
Aftermarket Supply Note
The DA64 Every has been out of production for over a decade, so genuine body trim is no longer stocked at dealerships
This aftermarket cover fills the replacement gap for used-car exporters and refurbishment shops
Suits parallel-import resellers serving Southeast Asia and the Middle East

Frequently Asked Questions
Does one part fit both van and wagon?
Yes. The gas tank cover is built on a single profile that mounts to both the DA64V (van) and DA64W (wagon) fuel filler pockets.
Can the chrome cover be painted to match the body colour?
Not recommended. Electroplated chrome has very low paint adhesion, and paint applied directly over it will peel. For a body-colour finish, order the unpainted ABS version and have it painted before installation.
How should the chrome surface be cleaned?
Use a pH-neutral car shampoo and a soft microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive compounds and acidic wheel cleaners, which will haze the electroplated layer over time.
Will the 3M tape hold on a freshly repainted panel?
Allow fresh paint and clear coat to fully cure (typically 30 days for two-pack urethane) before mounting. Tape applied to uncured paint can lift the clear coat.
Can the cover be removed later without damaging the paint?
Warm the adhesive with a hairdryer or low-heat gun, then peel slowly parallel to the panel. Residual adhesive can be removed with a dedicated 3M adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol.
