Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth T600 Floor Trim
What year models of Kenworth T600 will these floor trims fit?
Our Kenworth T600 floor trims are designed to fit models from 1988 through 2007. However, there were minor cabin modifications in 1994 and 2001 that may affect fitment. We recommend checking your specific VIN year and measuring your existing floor trim dimensions before ordering. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your truck's year and VIN for exact compatibility confirmation.
Are these floor trims made of plastic or metal, and how durable are they?
Most of our T600 floor trims are manufactured from heavy-duty ABS plastic or aluminum, depending on the specific product. The ABS plastic options are UV-resistant and designed to withstand temperature extremes from -40F to 160F without cracking or warping. Aluminum trims offer superior durability but may show scuff marks more easily. Both materials are significantly more durable than OEM plastic trims and typically last 5-7 years with normal use.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for these floor trims?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools including a Phillips screwdriver, trim removal tool, and possibly a drill for certain models. Most floor trims use the existing mounting holes and clips from your original trim. The average installation time is 30-45 minutes per side. Some drivers report that removing the seat base provides easier access, though it's not always necessary. We include detailed instructions with each trim piece.
What's the difference between the chrome, polished, and painted finish options?
Chrome finish features a mirror-like shine and is best for show trucks but requires regular polishing to maintain appearance. Polished aluminum has a brushed metal look that hides minor scratches better and requires less maintenance. Painted finishes come in black or custom colors and are powder-coated for durability, making them ideal for work trucks. Chrome and polished options may develop surface oxidation over time if not maintained, while painted finishes resist corrosion better.
Will these floor trims help reduce road noise and drafts in my cab?
Yes, properly installed floor trims create a better seal between the floor and door panels, reducing wind noise and drafts. Many drivers report a 20-30% reduction in road noise after replacing worn OEM trims. For maximum effectiveness, ensure the rubber sealing strip (if included) is properly seated and consider adding weatherstrip adhesive at connection points. This improvement is most noticeable at highway speeds above 55 mph.
