Kenworth W900B/W900L Visors

Frequently Asked Questions About Kenworth W900B/W900L Visors

Will these visors fit my specific year and model Kenworth W900B or W900L?

Our Kenworth W900B/W900L visors are designed to fit most model years from 1987 to present. However, there are some variations between early and late models. W900B models (1987-2006) typically use the same mounting brackets, while W900L models may have slight differences in cab roof angles. We recommend verifying your truck's exact year and checking the product description for specific compatibility notes, or contacting our support team with your OEM for confirmation.

What's the difference between stainless steel and fiberglass visors, and which should I choose?

Stainless steel visors offer superior durability and a classic chrome finish that won't fade or crack. They're heavier (typically 15-25 lbs) but provide excellent longevity. Fiberglass visors are lighter (8-15 lbs), more affordable, and available in various colors and finishes including painted options. Choose stainless for long-term durability and traditional styling, or fiberglass if you want color-matching options or prefer lighter weight.

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

Installation typically takes 2-3 hours and requires basic hand tools including a drill, 3/8" and 1/2" drill bits, socket set, and silicone sealant. Most visors use existing cab mounting points, but some models require drilling 4-6 new holes. The main challenges include properly aligning the visor before drilling and ensuring a weather-tight seal. Many customers successfully install these themselves, though professional installation is recommended if you're uncomfortable drilling into your cab.

What sizes and drop lengths are available for W900B/W900L visors?

Standard visor drops range from 5 inches to 20 inches, with 9-inch, 12-inch, and 15-inch being the most popular sizes. The drop is measured from the mounting point to the bottom edge of the visor. Longer drops provide more sun protection but may affect forward visibility and wind resistance. Most drivers find 12-15 inches offers the best balance of functionality and aesthetics for long-haul applications.

Do these visors come with mounting hardware and instructions?

Yes, most of our Kenworth W900B/W900L visors include complete mounting hardware kits with brackets, bolts, washers, and rubber gaskets. Installation instructions are typically included, though detail levels vary by manufacturer. Some economy models may require you to reuse existing brackets or purchase mounting kits separately - always check the "What's Included" section of each product listing to verify hardware inclusion.
