International 9300/9370 Roof Trim

Frequently Asked Questions About International 9300/9370 Roof Trim

What exactly is roof trim, and what purpose does it serve on my International 9300/9370?

Roof trim refers to the exterior molding and panel pieces that cover the edges and seams along the top of the cab, including the roof cap, corner moldings, and visor trim. These parts protect seams from water intrusion, cover mounting hardware, and give the cab a finished, factory-style appearance. Many trim pieces also help direct water runoff away from doors and windows.

Will this roof trim fit my specific model year of the International 9300 or 9370?

International made some updates to cab styling over the years, so fitment can vary between early and later production runs. Always check the listed year range and cab configuration on each product page, and compare mounting points and dimensions to your existing trim before ordering. If you are unsure, our team can help confirm fitment using your VIN or existing part numbers.

What materials are these roof trim pieces made from, and how do they hold up outdoors?

Roof trim is typically offered in materials such as ABS plastic, fiberglass, or stainless steel, depending on the specific piece. Stainless trim resists corrosion and holds up well to road debris and washing, while plastic and fiberglass pieces are lighter and often used for visors or contoured sections. Check each listing for the specific material and finish, such as painted, primed, or polished, so you know what to expect out of the box.

Can I install roof trim myself, or does it require professional installation?

Many roof trim pieces are designed for straightforward bolt-on or adhesive installation using existing mounting holes, so an experienced DIYer with basic tools can often complete the job. That said, pieces involving roof caps or visors that require sealing against water intrusion benefit from careful attention to gaskets and sealant. If you are not comfortable working at height on the cab roof or ensuring a proper weather seal, having a shop handle installation is a reasonable option.

How do I keep roof trim looking good and prevent water leaks around it over time?

Regular washing helps prevent dirt and road grime from breaking down seals and finishes. Inspect the edges of your roof trim periodically for cracked sealant, loose fasteners, or gaps, and reseal or tighten as needed to prevent water from getting into the cab. For polished stainless trim, routine cleaning with a non-abrasive metal polish will help maintain its shine and resist pitting.
