Kenworth Visors

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth Visors

What Kenworth models and years are these visors compatible with?

Our Kenworth visors are designed to fit T660, T680, T700, T800, W900B, and W900L models. Most visors fit 1995 and newer models, but compatibility varies by specific product. Each visor listing includes detailed fitment information, including any model-specific requirements. For curved windshield models like the T680, make sure to select visors specifically designed for that windshield style. Always verify your truck's exact model and year before ordering.

What materials are Kenworth visors made from, and how durable are they?

Most Kenworth visors are constructed from either fiberglass or ABS plastic. Fiberglass visors offer superior durability and resistance to cracking but are heavier and typically more expensive. ABS plastic visors are lighter weight and more affordable while still providing good UV resistance and weatherproofing. Both materials are designed to withstand highway speeds and harsh weather conditions. Stainless steel options are also available for maximum durability and a classic chrome appearance.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools are required?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill, drill bits, socket set, and measuring tape. Most visors mount using existing cab holes when possible, though some drilling may be required. The process involves removing existing sun visors, positioning the new visor, marking mounting points, and securing with provided hardware. Many customers successfully complete DIY installation, but professional installation is recommended if you're uncomfortable drilling into your cab.

What styles and finishes are available for Kenworth visors?

Kenworth visors come in several styles including standard drop visors (12-15 inch drops), bow-tie styles, and curved designs for aerodynamic models. Finish options include paintable primer (most common), polished stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, and pre-painted colors. Paintable visors allow you to match your truck's exact color. Some visors also feature integrated LED marker lights or accent lighting. Width options typically range from standard cab to wide cab configurations.

Will adding a visor affect my fuel efficiency or cause wind noise?

A properly installed visor should have minimal impact on fuel efficiency - typically less than 1-2% decrease in highway MPG. Quality visors are designed with aerodynamics in mind to minimize drag. Wind noise is usually not an issue with correct installation and proper sealing. Make sure all mounting points are secure and use the provided rubber gaskets or weather stripping. Some drivers actually report reduced cab turbulence and improved rain deflection. Curved or aerodynamic visor designs generally produce less wind resistance than traditional flat styles.
