Frequently Asked Questions About Freightliner SD 108-122 Visors
What specific Freightliner models and years are compatible with these SD 108-122 visors?
These visors are designed to fit Freightliner SD models including the 108SD, 114SD, and 122SD from model years 2012 to present. They are compatible with both day cab and sleeper configurations. However, we recommend verifying your exact model specifications before ordering, as some custom configurations may require additional mounting hardware or modifications.
What materials are these visors made from, and how durable are they?
Most SD 108-122 visors are constructed from either fiberglass or ABS plastic. Fiberglass visors offer superior durability and resistance to cracking in extreme temperatures, while ABS plastic visors are lighter weight and more affordable. Both materials feature UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading and yellowing. Based on customer feedback, fiberglass visors typically last 5-7 years with proper care, while ABS versions may need replacement after 3-5 years depending on exposure conditions.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools are required?
Installation typically takes 2-3 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, socket wrench set, and measuring tape. The visors mount using existing cab holes in most cases, though some models may require drilling 4-6 additional mounting points. Many customers report that having a second person helps significantly with alignment. Professional installation is recommended if you're uncomfortable drilling into your cab or need to ensure warranty compliance.
What styles and finishes are available for SD 108-122 visors?
These visors come in several styles including standard drop visors (12-14 inch drop), curved aerodynamic designs, and straight traditional styles. Finish options include paintable primer (most common), chrome, stainless steel, and color-matched options. LED light cutouts are available on select models. The aerodynamic curved styles typically provide better fuel efficiency, while traditional straight visors offer maximum sun blocking coverage.
Do these visors affect fuel economy or create wind noise?
Properly installed visors should have minimal impact on fuel economy - typically less than 1% decrease according to customer reports. Aerodynamic curved designs may actually improve airflow in some cases. Wind noise is usually only an issue with improper installation or damaged seals. Using the provided rubber gaskets and ensuring all mounting points are secure will prevent whistling or vibration. Some drivers report slight noise increases above 65 mph with straight-style visors compared to curved designs.
