Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900A Winter Fronts & Bug Screens
Will these winter fronts and bug screens fit my specific year W900A?
Our winter fronts and bug screens are designed to fit Kenworth W900A models from 1961 to 1985. However, there are variations in grille designs between early (1961-1976) and late (1977-1985) models. Be sure to check your grille style - early models typically have horizontal bars while later models feature the iconic vertical bar design. If you're unsure about compatibility, measure your grille opening or contact us with your VIN for verification.
What materials are these winter fronts made from, and how long will they last?
Most winter fronts are constructed from heavy-duty vinyl or marine-grade canvas with reinforced edges and brass grommets. Quality units feature UV-resistant materials rated for temperatures from -40?F to 150?F. With proper care, a well-made winter front should last 3-5 years of regular seasonal use. Look for double-stitched seams and reinforced attachment points for maximum durability.
How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?
Installation typically takes 15-30 minutes and requires no drilling or permanent modifications. Most winter fronts attach using the existing grille mounting points with included bungee cords, snap fasteners, or turn buttons. You'll need basic hand tools like pliers for tightening fasteners. Bug screens usually mount behind the grille using spring-loaded clips or tension mounting. Always install with the engine cool to avoid burns.
Can I use a winter front and bug screen at the same time?
Yes, but with important considerations. Bug screens should be installed first, directly behind the grille, with the winter front mounted on the outside. However, using both simultaneously requires careful temperature monitoring as airflow restriction is significantly increased. Many drivers remove the bug screen during winter months to prevent overheating. Always monitor your temperature gauge closely when using both accessories.
What styles and coverage options are available for the W900A?
Winter fronts come in three main styles: full coverage (blocks 90-100% of grille), partial coverage with center opening (blocks 70-80%), and adjustable designs with removable flaps. Bug screens are available in standard black mesh or stainless steel mesh options. Some winter fronts feature reflective strips for night visibility or custom embroidered logos. Choose coverage based on your typical operating temperatures - full coverage for extreme cold below 0?F, partial for moderate winter conditions.
