Frequently Asked Questions About Mack CX Truck Visors

What years and models of Mack CX trucks do these visors fit?

Our Mack CX truck visors are designed to fit Mack CX Vision models from 2008 to 2015. They are specifically engineered for the CX613 Vision series. Please verify your exact model year before ordering, as mounting hole patterns may vary slightly between early and late production years. If you're unsure about compatibility, contact our support team with your VIN number for verification.

Are these visors made from fiberglass or ABS plastic, and how durable are they?

Most of our Mack CX visors are constructed from high-grade fiberglass, which offers superior strength and longevity compared to ABS plastic alternatives. Fiberglass visors typically weigh between 15-20 pounds and are gel-coated for UV resistance. They're designed to withstand highway speeds, extreme weather conditions, and resist cracking or fading for 5-7 years under normal use conditions.

Do I need to drill holes for installation, and what hardware is included?

Installation typically requires drilling 4-6 mounting holes into your truck's cab. Each visor kit includes stainless steel mounting brackets, bolts, washers, and rubber gaskets. You'll need a drill with metal bits (typically 3/8" and 1/2"), a measuring tape, and basic hand tools. Most installations take 2-3 hours. We recommend having a second person assist with positioning during installation.

What styles and finishes are available for CX visors?

We offer CX visors in several styles including standard drop visors (12" to 16" drops), curved aerodynamic designs, and models with integrated LED marker lights. Finish options include primer-ready for custom painting, gloss black, chrome, and stainless steel. Lighted versions come pre-wired with DOT-approved LED lights and include a wiring harness that connects to your existing clearance light circuit.

Will adding a visor affect my fuel economy or create wind noise?

Properly installed visors typically have minimal impact on fuel economy (less than 1% decrease). Some drivers actually report slight improvements due to better aerodynamics. Wind noise is usually not an issue with quality visors that have proper edge sealing. However, improper installation or loose mounting can create whistling sounds at highway speeds. Ensure all mounting points are secure and use the provided rubber gaskets to prevent vibration and noise.
