Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner Cascadia 113/125 Roof Trim

What years and models of Cascadia trucks will these roof trims fit?

Our roof trims are designed specifically for Freightliner Cascadia 113 and 125 models from 2008 to present. However, there was a significant body style change in 2018 with the New Cascadia launch. Pre-2018 models (often called "old body style") and 2018+ New Cascadia models require different roof trim pieces. Always verify your truck's model year and check the product description to ensure you're ordering the correct style for your specific Cascadia.

Are these roof trims made from stainless steel or chrome-plated plastic?

We carry both options depending on your needs and budget. Our premium roof trims are constructed from 304-grade stainless steel with either a mirror polish or brushed finish. We also offer ABS plastic trims with triple chrome plating for a more economical option. The stainless steel versions typically last longer and resist rust better, while the chrome-plated options provide excellent appearance at a lower price point. Each product listing clearly specifies the material type.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?

Most roof trim installations can be completed in 1-2 hours with basic hand tools. You'll typically need a drill with metal bits, rivet gun, measuring tape, and marking tools. Some trims use existing mounting holes while others require drilling new holes. We recommend having a helper due to the length of these pieces. Many drivers successfully install these in their own shops, though professional installation is always an option if you're not comfortable drilling into your cab roof.

Will these roof trims work with my existing cab lights or visor?

Compatibility with accessories depends on the specific trim style. Our standard roof trims are designed to work around factory cab marker lights. However, if you have aftermarket LED light bars, custom visors, or air deflectors, you may need our extended or notched trim options. Check the product specifications for clearance measurements, or contact our team with your specific setup details for a compatibility recommendation.

What's the difference between the various styles like straight, angled, and extended trims?

Straight trims follow the roofline directly and work best for trucks without visors. Angled trims have a forward sweep that complements aerodynamic additions and certain visor styles. Extended trims provide additional coverage and create a more pronounced look, often preferred by drivers who want maximum chrome visibility. The style choice is primarily aesthetic, though angled and extended options may offer slightly better water deflection in heavy rain conditions.
