Frequently Asked Questions About International WorkStar Door & Cab Side Accessories

What model years of International WorkStar trucks do these door and cab accessories fit?

Our International WorkStar door and cab side accessories are designed to fit WorkStar models from 2008 through 2017. However, fitment can vary depending on the specific accessory and your truck's configuration. We recommend checking the product description for exact year compatibility or contacting our customer service team with your VIN number to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Are these accessories made from stainless steel or chrome-plated steel, and how do they hold up against rust?

Most of our WorkStar door and cab accessories are available in both 304-grade stainless steel and chrome-plated steel options. The stainless steel accessories offer superior corrosion resistance and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for harsh weather conditions and road salt exposure. Chrome-plated options provide an excellent mirror finish but may require more frequent cleaning and care to prevent pitting or rust, especially in coastal or high-salt environments.

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

Installation requirements vary by product. Many of our mirror covers, door handle covers, and grab handle covers are designed to install using existing mounting points or strong automotive-grade adhesive tape, requiring no drilling. However, some accessories like full door panels or custom trim pieces may require drilling or minor modifications. Each product page includes detailed installation information, and we provide installation instructions with every order.

Will aftermarket door handles and window cranks work with my WorkStar's existing locking mechanism?

Yes, our replacement door handles are designed to work seamlessly with your WorkStar's factory locking mechanisms and linkages. They maintain full functionality while upgrading the appearance. For power window models, our window switch bezels and trim pieces are direct replacements that preserve all electrical connections. If you have concerns about compatibility with aftermarket locks or security systems, please contact us with your specific setup details.

How do I match the finish of new accessories with my existing chrome or stainless parts?

To ensure a cohesive look, we recommend purchasing all visible accessories in the same material and finish. Our stainless steel products feature a brushed finish that matches well across different pieces. For chrome accessories, slight variations in shine can occur between manufacturers, but our chrome items are triple-plated for consistent quality. If you're adding to existing accessories, let us know what you currently have installed, and we can recommend the best matching options from our inventory.
