Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 352 Windshield, Wiper & Roof Accessories
What years of Peterbilt 352 models are these windshield and roof accessories compatible with?
Our Peterbilt 352 windshield, wiper, and roof accessories are designed to fit 352 models from 1969 through 1981. However, Peterbilt made minor changes throughout production years, so we recommend verifying your specific OEM and cab configuration before ordering. If you're unsure about compatibility, our customer service team can help match parts to your exact truck specifications.
Are the replacement windshields DOT approved and what's the glass quality like?
Yes, all our Peterbilt 352 replacement windshields meet or exceed DOT safety standards and are manufactured using OEM-grade laminated safety glass. The windshields feature proper tinting to reduce glare and UV protection to prevent interior fading. Most customers report the optical clarity matches or exceeds their original windshield, with no distortion issues that can occur with lower-quality aftermarket glass.
How difficult is it to install windshield wipers and arms on a 352, and what tools are needed?
Installing wiper arms and blades on a Peterbilt 352 is a straightforward job that typically takes 30-45 minutes. You'll need basic hand tools including a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly a small puller for stubborn wiper arms. The main challenge is ensuring proper alignment for complete windshield coverage. Many customers successfully complete the installation without professional help.
What roof accessories are available for the 352 cab styles, and are they universal fit?
We offer various roof accessories including sun visors, cab lights, air horns, and antenna mounts specifically designed for Peterbilt 352 cabs. These are not universal parts - the 352 came in both standard and extended cab configurations with different roof profiles. Flat-top and curved-roof models require different mounting brackets and hardware. Always specify your cab style when ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Do the windshield rubber seals come pre-formed, and how long do they typically last?
Our Peterbilt 352 windshield seals are pre-formed to match the exact windshield opening dimensions and include integrated molded corners for easier installation. Made from EPDM rubber, these seals typically last 8-12 years depending on climate conditions and UV exposure. They're designed to maintain flexibility in extreme temperatures and resist cracking better than original rubber seals from the 1970s era.
