Frequently Asked Questions About International S2200-S2600 Door & Cab Side Accessories

Will these door and cab accessories fit my specific International S2200-S2600 model year?

Most door and cab side accessories for International S2200-S2600 trucks are designed to fit models from 2017 to current production years. However, minor changes in door handle placement and mirror mounting points occurred in 2019. Always verify fitment by checking your VIN's build date or contacting us with your specific year and model configuration. Hood-mounted accessories typically have broader compatibility across all S2200-S2600 model years.

What's the difference between stainless steel and chrome-plated accessories, and which should I choose?

Stainless steel accessories are made from solid 304-grade stainless and offer superior corrosion resistance, especially in salt-heavy environments. They maintain their appearance with minimal maintenance but cost 20-30% more. Chrome-plated accessories provide a mirror-like finish at a lower price point but require regular polishing and may show pitting after 2-3 years in harsh conditions. Choose stainless for longevity in severe weather regions or chrome for maximum shine with regular maintenance.

Do I need to drill holes or modify my truck to install these accessories?

Most door handle covers, mirror backs, and grab handle covers are designed as no-drill installations using 3M automotive tape or clip-on mounting systems. However, certain accessories like auxiliary grab handles, additional marker lights, or custom air cleaner lights typically require drilling 2-4 mounting holes. Each product description specifies installation requirements. We recommend professional installation for any drilling-required accessories to maintain door seal integrity.

How do I ensure door handle covers won't interfere with keyless entry or door sensors?

Quality door handle covers for S2200-S2600 models are specifically designed with sensor windows and proper clearances for keyless entry systems. Look for covers that explicitly state "keyless entry compatible" in the description. Avoid universal-fit covers as they often block sensor operation. The cover's back plate should have a recessed area or cutout matching your truck's sensor location, typically found on driver and passenger door handles.

What accessories are available for daycab versus sleeper cab configurations?

Daycab models have unique accessory options including shorter cab panels, specific grab handle placements, and different side fairing dimensions. Sleeper cabs accommodate additional accessories like sleeper window trim, extended cab panels, and bunk window vents. Door-specific accessories (handles, mirrors, vent shades) are typically identical between configurations. Always specify your cab type when ordering side panels or cab extenders, as daycab panels are 12-18 inches shorter than sleeper versions.
