Frequently Asked Questions About International 9200/9400 Windshield & Wiper Accessories
What years and models are these windshield and wiper accessories compatible with?
Our windshield and wiper accessories are designed specifically for International 9200 and 9400 series trucks manufactured from 1998 through 2003. These parts fit both the 9200i and 9400i models. Always verify your truck's exact year and model before ordering, as International made minor changes throughout production years that may affect fitment.
Are the replacement wiper arms and blades heavy-duty enough for commercial use?
Yes, all wiper components in this category are built to DOT commercial vehicle standards. The wiper arms are constructed from corrosion-resistant steel with reinforced tension springs rated for 500,000+ cycles. Our wiper blades feature dual rubber compounds that maintain flexibility in temperatures from -40?F to 140?F, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions typical of long-haul routes.
How difficult is it to install windshield accessories like sun visors or bug deflectors?
Most windshield accessories require basic hand tools and take 30-60 minutes to install. Sun visors typically mount using existing holes in the cab roof, requiring only a socket wrench. Bug deflectors use either no-drill clamps or pre-existing mounting points on the hood. We include detailed instructions with each product, and many drivers complete installation without professional help. However, windshield glass replacement should always be done by a certified technician.
What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket wiper motors for these trucks?
OEM wiper motors are manufactured to International's original specifications and typically cost 40-60% more than aftermarket options. Quality aftermarket motors from brands like Cardone and WAI meet or exceed OEM performance standards and often include improved seals and bearings. Both types fit identically and use the same wiring connections. The main difference is price and warranty length - OEM typically offers 1 year, while premium aftermarket brands often provide 2-3 year warranties.
Do chrome windshield accessories require special maintenance to prevent rust and pitting?
Chrome accessories need regular cleaning with non-abrasive chrome polish to maintain their finish, especially in areas with road salt or coastal conditions. Apply a quality chrome wax every 2-3 months to create a protective barrier. Avoid using harsh chemicals or steel wool, which can damage the chrome plating. Stainless steel alternatives are available for most accessories if you prefer lower maintenance, though they cost approximately 20-30% more than chrome versions.
