Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Floor Mats
What's the difference between floor mats for the W900B and W900L models?
The main difference is the cab floor dimensions. W900B models (typically pre-1987) have a narrower cab floor, while W900L models have a wider, more spacious cab design. The W900L mats are approximately 2-3 inches wider to accommodate the extended cab floor. Always verify your specific model year, as some transition years may have variations. Check your VIN or measure your existing floor space to ensure proper fitment.
Will these floor mats fit my specific year W900B or W900L?
Our floor mats are designed to fit W900B models from 1961-1987 and W900L models from 1987-present. However, some mid-1980s transition models may have unique specifications. For trucks with aftermarket seats or modified interiors, you may need to trim the mats for optimal fit. We recommend measuring your floor pan width at the widest point and comparing it to our product specifications before ordering.
What material options are available and which holds up best to daily use?
We offer three main materials: rubber, heavy-duty vinyl, and carpet. Rubber mats are the most durable for harsh conditions and easiest to clean, making them ideal for construction or agricultural use. Heavy-duty vinyl provides excellent protection with a more refined appearance. Carpet mats offer the best aesthetic appeal but require more maintenance. For maximum longevity in commercial applications, we recommend rubber or vinyl options with deep grooves to trap dirt and moisture.
Do I need to remove my seats to install these floor mats?
No, seat removal is not required for installation. Our mats are designed to work around your existing seat bases. Simply remove your old mats, clean the floor area thoroughly, and lay the new mats in place. Some trimming around seat pedestals or gear shifters may be necessary depending on your specific cab configuration. The mats should lay flat naturally, but in cold weather, letting them warm to room temperature before installation helps them conform better to your floor contours.
How do I keep the floor mats from sliding around while driving?
Our mats feature a textured backing designed to grip your cab floor, but additional securing methods can help. Many drivers use double-sided automotive tape at the corners or heel pad area for extra stability. Some models include grommets for optional factory retention hooks. Ensure your floor is completely clean and dry before installation, as dirt or moisture will reduce grip. Regular cleaning underneath the mats also helps maintain their non-slip properties.
