Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900A Interior Dash Trim

Will this dash trim fit my specific year W900A, and what about W900B or W900L models?

Our W900A dash trim pieces are designed specifically for 1961-1986 Kenworth W900A models. While some trim pieces may physically fit W900B (1987-2007) or W900L models, the mounting points and dimensions often differ between these generations. We recommend checking the specific product description for each trim piece, as some items are universal while others are model-specific. If you're unsure, contact us with your truck's VIN and we can verify compatibility.

What materials are these dash trim pieces made from, and how do they compare to OEM quality?

Most of our dash trim pieces are manufactured from either chrome-plated ABS plastic or polished stainless steel, depending on the specific item. Chrome ABS pieces offer good durability at an affordable price point and typically last 5-7 years with proper care. Stainless steel options provide superior longevity and resist pitting better than chrome plating. Both options meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit and finish. Each product listing specifies the exact material used.

How difficult is installation, and what tools will I need?

Installation difficulty varies by trim piece, but most dash trim can be installed in 30-60 minutes with basic hand tools. You'll typically need Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, a trim removal tool, and occasionally a 7mm or 8mm socket. Some pieces use existing mounting holes while others may require drilling. Gauge bezels and switch panels are generally plug-and-play, while full dash caps may require removal of the steering column for proper fitment. We include installation instructions with each order.

What finish options are available, and which holds up best in direct sunlight?

We offer three main finishes: chrome, brushed aluminum, and powder-coated black. Chrome provides the classic look but can show fingerprints and may experience some fading after 3-4 years of direct sun exposure. Brushed aluminum offers excellent UV resistance and hides minor scratches well. Black powder-coated pieces are ideal for modern interior upgrades and resist fading the best. For maximum longevity in sun-exposed areas, we recommend brushed aluminum or applying UV protectant to chrome pieces monthly.

Do these trim pieces come with mounting hardware, and are they direct replacements?

About 80% of our dash trim pieces include necessary mounting hardware such as clips, screws, and brackets. Items marked as "direct replacement" will use your existing mounting points without modification. Some universal trim pieces may require minor drilling or use of included adhesive strips. Each product description clearly states what's included and any additional hardware you might need. Original hardware can often be reused if it's in good condition.
