Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner M2 Business Class Visors
Will these visors fit my specific year and model of Freightliner M2?
Most aftermarket visors for the Freightliner M2 Business Class are designed to fit models from 2003 to present. However, there are slight variations between the 106 and 112 models, particularly in mounting hole patterns. Always verify compatibility by checking your truck's model year and cab configuration (day cab vs. extended cab) before ordering. If you're unsure, measure the distance between your existing mounting holes or contact us with your VIN for exact fitment confirmation.
What material options are available, and which holds up best against sun damage?
Freightliner M2 visors typically come in three material options: ABS plastic, fiberglass, and stainless steel. ABS plastic visors are lightweight and cost-effective but may fade over time. Fiberglass options offer excellent durability and UV resistance with proper gel coating. Stainless steel visors provide the longest lifespan and won't fade, crack, or warp, making them ideal for trucks operating in extreme sun exposure. Most drivers report fiberglass and stainless steel options lasting 5-7 years or more with minimal maintenance.
Can I install these visors myself, or do I need professional help?
Installation is typically a 1-2 hour DIY project for those comfortable with basic tools. You'll need a drill with metal bits, socket wrenches, and possibly a rivet gun depending on your mounting style. The main challenges include properly aligning the visor before drilling and ensuring weatherproof sealing around mounting points. Many visors use existing cab holes, but some require drilling 4-6 new holes. We recommend having a helper to hold the visor in position during installation.
What's the difference between drop visors and standard visors?
Standard visors extend straight out from the cab, typically 5-7 inches, providing basic sun protection. Drop visors feature a downward curve or angle at the front edge, extending coverage by an additional 3-5 inches vertically. Drop visors offer superior sun blocking during early morning and late afternoon hours when the sun sits lower on the horizon. They're especially popular with drivers who frequently travel east-west routes. However, drop visors may slightly reduce upward visibility, which some drivers find problematic in mountainous terrain.
Do aftermarket visors affect my warranty or DOT compliance?
Properly installed aftermarket visors that don't obstruct driver visibility or required lighting are generally DOT compliant. However, some states have specific regulations about maximum visor depth - typically nothing extending more than 6 inches below the top of the windshield. Installing a visor shouldn't void your truck's warranty, but drilling new holes in the cab could potentially affect rust-perforation warranties. We recommend checking your warranty terms and local regulations. Choose visors with pre-drilled patterns matching OEM specifications when possible to avoid additional drilling.
