Frequently Asked Questions About Ford F600-F700 Truck Roof Trim

Will this roof trim fit my specific F600 or F700 model year?

Our roof trim pieces are designed to fit Ford F600 and F700 trucks from 1999 through current model years. However, there were minor changes in mounting hole patterns between 1999-2010 and 2011-present models. Please check your truck's VIN and model year before ordering, or contact our support team with your truck details for verification. We maintain a compatibility chart that covers cab configurations including regular, extended, and crew cab variants.

What material is the roof trim made from, and how long will it last?

Most of our F600-F700 roof trim options are manufactured from either heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel or high-impact ABS plastic with chrome plating. Stainless steel trim typically lasts 10-15 years with minimal maintenance, while chrome-plated ABS options generally last 5-7 years depending on climate conditions. Both materials are UV-resistant and designed to withstand commercial truck use. For maximum durability in harsh weather conditions, we recommend the stainless steel options.

Can I install the roof trim myself, or do I need professional help?

Installation typically takes 2-3 hours and can be completed with basic tools including a drill, rivet gun, and measuring tape. Most trim pieces use a combination of industrial adhesive tape and rivets or screws for secure mounting. We provide detailed installation instructions with each order, including templates for drilling. While many customers successfully install these themselves, proper alignment is critical for water-tight sealing, so professional installation may be worth considering if you're not comfortable working at height or drilling into your cab.

What styles and finishes are available for F600-F700 roof trim?

We offer several style options including flat visor trim (4-6 inches wide), curved sun visor trim, and full cab roof trim kits. Finish options include mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless steel, chrome-plated ABS, and powder-coated aluminum in black or white. The curved visor styles are most popular for highway trucks, while flat trim is preferred for vocational applications. LED light cutouts are available on select models for additional visibility.

Do I need to remove my existing trim before installing new pieces?

In most cases, yes. Factory trim should be carefully removed to ensure proper fit of aftermarket pieces. This involves removing old adhesive residue with a plastic scraper and adhesive remover, and potentially filling old rivet holes with body filler if the new trim uses different mounting points. Some universal-fit trim pieces can be installed over existing trim, but this may create water intrusion points and is not recommended for long-term use. Always inspect the cab roof for rust or damage before installing new trim.
