Will these visors fit my specific Kenworth T300, T330, T370, or T450 model year?
Our Kenworth T300-T450 visors are designed to fit models from 1994 through current production years. The mounting holes and brackets are identical across T300, T330, T370, and T450 models within this range. However, if your truck has aftermarket mirrors or custom door modifications, you may need to verify clearance before ordering. We recommend checking your existing visor mounting points - there should be pre-drilled holes above your windshield where the original visor attached.
What material are these visors made from, and how do they hold up to weather and sun exposure?
Most visors in this category are constructed from either fiberglass or ABS plastic. Fiberglass visors offer superior durability and UV resistance but are heavier and typically more expensive. ABS plastic visors are lighter and more affordable while still providing good weather resistance when properly maintained. Both materials can last 5-10 years with regular cleaning and occasional waxing. For maximum longevity in harsh sun conditions, we recommend choosing visors with UV-resistant gel coat or paint finishes.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools will I need?
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill with metal bits, socket set, screwdrivers, and a measuring tape. Most visors come with mounting brackets and hardware, but you may need to purchase additional stainless steel bolts for a more secure fit. The main challenge is ensuring proper alignment before drilling any new holes. Many customers find it helpful to have a second person assist with holding the visor in place during test fitting. Professional installation usually runs $100-200 if you prefer not to do it yourself.
What styles and finishes are available, and which ones match factory specifications?
Available styles include standard drop visors (5-7 inch drop), extended drop visors (9-13 inch drop), and lighted visors with integrated LED marker lights. Finish options typically include painted to match your truck color, polished stainless steel, chrome, and raw fiberglass ready for custom painting. For factory appearance, most original Kenworth visors were color-matched painted fiberglass with a 7-inch drop. Chrome and stainless options provide a custom look but may require more frequent cleaning to maintain appearance.
Do these visors actually reduce glare and improve visibility, or are they mainly cosmetic?
Quality visors provide both functional and aesthetic benefits. A properly sized visor blocks sun glare during early morning and late afternoon driving, reducing eye strain and improving safety. The effectiveness depends on the drop height - standard 5-7 inch visors work well for most conditions, while 9-13 inch drops provide maximum sun protection but may slightly reduce upward visibility at traffic lights. Many drivers report significant reduction in dashboard glare and interior cab temperature. However, visors do add wind resistance, which may result in a slight decrease in fuel economy at highway speeds.
