Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner FLC112 Sleeper Roof Accessories
What years and models of Freightliner FLC112 are these roof accessories compatible with?
Our sleeper roof accessories are designed to fit Freightliner FLC112 models from 1987 through 2001. Most accessories are compatible with both the 48-inch and 63-inch sleeper configurations. However, some items like full roof fairings may be specific to either the mid-roof or raised-roof sleeper variants. Always check the product description for your specific year and sleeper size, or contact our team with your VIN for verification.
What materials are these roof accessories made from, and how long do they typically last?
Most of our FLC112 roof accessories are manufactured from either 304 stainless steel or high-grade fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). Stainless steel components like grab handles and light bars typically last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. Fiberglass fairings and deflectors generally maintain their appearance for 10-15 years when properly cared for. All materials are UV-resistant and designed to withstand highway speeds and weather extremes.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for these roof accessories?
Installation difficulty varies by product. Light bars, grab handles, and antenna mounts typically require basic hand tools and can be installed in 1-2 hours. These usually mount using existing holes or simple drilling templates. Larger items like roof fairings or full wind deflectors may require 3-4 hours and benefit from professional installation due to alignment requirements. All products include detailed instructions, and mounting hardware is included unless specifically noted.
Are these roof accessories available in different finishes to match my truck?
Yes, we offer multiple finish options depending on the product type. Stainless steel accessories come in either polished mirror finish or brushed satin finish. Fiberglass components are available in gel-coat white (ready to paint), pre-primed gray, or can be custom painted to match your truck color for an additional fee. Chrome-plated options are available for select light bars and trim pieces. Contact us for custom color matching services.
Will adding roof accessories affect my fuel economy or create wind noise?
Properly designed roof fairings and deflectors actually improve fuel economy by reducing wind resistance, with drivers reporting 3-5% improvements on average. However, incorrectly sized or poorly installed accessories can create turbulence and noise. Light bars and antenna mounts have minimal impact when properly positioned. We recommend choosing accessories specifically engineered for the FLC112's aerodynamic profile and ensuring all components are securely fastened to prevent vibration noise at highway speeds.
