Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Door & Cab Side Accessories
Will these door and cab accessories fit my specific year W900B or W900L?
Most of our door and cab side accessories are designed to fit Kenworth W900B models from 1987-2010 and W900L models from 1988-2010. However, some accessories may have more specific fitment requirements. Always check the product description for exact year compatibility, and note that pre-1987 models may have different mounting points. If you're unsure, contact us with your truck's VIN for verification.
What's the difference between stainless steel and chrome-plated accessories, and which should I choose?
Stainless steel accessories are made from solid 304-grade stainless steel, offering superior corrosion resistance and durability without the risk of peeling or flaking. Chrome-plated accessories have a mirror-like finish over a steel or plastic base, providing a brilliant shine at a lower cost but may require more maintenance. Choose stainless for long-term durability in harsh conditions, or chrome for maximum shine with regular upkeep.
Do I need to drill holes to install door handles, grab handles, or cab extensions?
Installation requirements vary by product. Many door handles and grab handles use existing factory mounting holes, while cab extensions and some custom accessories may require drilling. Each product includes detailed installation instructions specifying whether drilling is needed. Most installations can be completed with basic hand tools in 30-60 minutes per piece.
Are these accessories compatible with aftermarket doors or extended cab conversions?
Factory-style accessories are designed for OEM Kenworth doors and cabs. Aftermarket doors or custom cab conversions may have different dimensions or mounting points. Measure your existing hardware mounting holes and compare them to our product specifications. For extended cab conversions, verify that door seals and weather stripping accommodate the modified cab dimensions.
How do I maintain the finish on stainless steel and chrome door accessories?
For stainless steel, use a dedicated stainless polish monthly and buff with a microfiber cloth. Chrome accessories need more frequent attention - clean weekly with chrome polish and avoid abrasive cleaners. Both materials benefit from regular washing to remove road salt and debris. Apply a protective wax coating every 3-4 months to maintain shine and prevent water spots.
