Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900A Switch Trim & ID Labels

Will these switch trim and ID labels fit my specific year W900A model?

Our switch trim and ID labels are designed to fit Kenworth W900A models from 1961 through 1990. However, there were minor dashboard variations throughout these years. We recommend checking your existing switch panel dimensions or contacting us with your VIN to ensure proper fitment. Most labels are universal across all W900A years, but some specialty switches introduced in later models may require specific labels.

What material are these labels made from, and how long will they last?

Our switch trim and ID labels are manufactured from heavy-duty vinyl with UV-resistant inks and a protective laminate coating. This construction provides 5-7 years of fade resistance under normal conditions. The adhesive backing is automotive-grade 3M material that withstands temperature extremes from -40?F to 180?F without peeling or bubbling. For maximum longevity, we recommend cleaning the surface with isopropyl alcohol before application.

How difficult is it to install these labels, and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes 30-45 minutes for a complete set. You'll need isopropyl alcohol for surface preparation, a plastic trim tool or credit card for smoothing, and good lighting. The labels are pre-cut to exact specifications with peel-and-stick backing. The most challenging part is usually removing old label residue, which can be done with adhesive remover or a heat gun on low setting. No special tools or professional experience required.

Do you offer complete label sets or do I need to buy each label individually?

We offer both options to suit different restoration needs. Complete label sets include all standard dashboard switches, warning lights, and gauge identifications for your W900A - typically 28-35 pieces depending on your truck's options. Individual labels are available for spot replacements or custom configurations. Complete sets offer a 15-20% savings over individual purchases and ensure consistent appearance across your dashboard.

What's the difference between OEM-style and chrome trim options?

OEM-style labels replicate the original factory appearance with black text on white or silver backgrounds, matching what came on your W900A from the factory. Chrome trim options feature the same text but include a decorative chrome-look border that adds a custom touch while maintaining readability. Both use identical materials and adhesives. Chrome trim labels are slightly larger (about 1/8 inch per side) to accommodate the border design, so ensure adequate spacing on crowded switch panels.
