Will these visors fit my specific International truck model and year?
Our International visors are designed to fit most ProStar, LoneStar, 9900i, and 9200i models from 2008 onwards. However, fitment can vary based on your specific cab configuration and mirror setup. ProStar and LoneStar models (2008-2017) typically use the same visor mounting points, while 9900i and 9200i models may require different brackets. Always check the product description for your exact model year, and feel free to contact us with your VIN if you need confirmation.
What materials are these visors made from, and how durable are they?
Most International truck visors are constructed from either fiberglass or ABS plastic. Fiberglass visors offer superior strength and longevity but are heavier and typically more expensive. ABS plastic visors are lighter, more affordable, and resist cracking in cold weather, though they may fade faster in direct sunlight. Both materials can handle highway speeds and weather conditions when properly installed. For maximum durability, we recommend fiberglass visors with UV-resistant gel coat finishes.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools will I need?
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, socket set, measuring tape, and masking tape for positioning. Most visors come with mounting brackets and hardware, but you'll need to drill 4-8 holes into your cab (depending on the model). The most challenging part is ensuring proper alignment and weatherproofing. We strongly recommend using butyl tape or silicone sealant around all mounting points to prevent water leaks. Professional installation runs $200-400 if you prefer not to drill into your cab yourself.
What styles and finishes are available for International visors?
International truck visors come in several styles including standard drop visors (12-17 inch drops), curved aerodynamic designs, and lighted options with built-in LED marker lights. Finish options typically include paintable primer (for custom color matching), chrome-look stainless steel, powder-coated black, and gel-coated fiberglass in various colors. The most popular choices are 15-inch drop visors in either paintable primer or gloss black finish. Lighted visors require additional wiring but provide enhanced visibility and DOT compliance for wider loads.
Do these visors actually reduce sun glare and improve fuel efficiency?
Yes, properly sized visors effectively block sun glare during early morning and late afternoon driving, reducing eye strain and improving safety. A 15-17 inch drop visor provides optimal sun protection for most drivers. Regarding fuel efficiency, aerodynamic visors can provide modest improvements (typically 1-3%) at highway speeds by reducing wind resistance and directing airflow over the trailer. However, the primary benefits are sun protection and aesthetic enhancement rather than significant fuel savings. Heavier fiberglass visors may slightly impact fuel economy compared to lighter ABS options.
