Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 359 Roof Trim
What years and models of Peterbilt 359 are compatible with your roof trim options?
Our roof trim selection covers Peterbilt 359 models from 1967 through 1987, including both standard and extended hood variants. Most trim pieces are designed to fit factory cab configurations, though some universal options work with custom sleepers. Always verify your specific cab style (standard, extended, or custom) before ordering, as mounting points can vary between configurations.
What's the difference between stainless steel and chrome-plated roof trim, and which lasts longer?
Stainless steel trim (typically 304-grade) offers superior longevity with minimal maintenance - just periodic cleaning keeps it looking great for decades. Chrome-plated trim provides a mirror-like finish but requires more care to prevent pitting and peeling, especially in harsh weather conditions. Stainless typically costs 20-30% more upfront but proves more economical long-term. Chrome works well for show trucks or mild climates with proper maintenance.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for roof trim replacement?
Most roof trim installations require basic hand tools: drill with bits, rivet gun, measuring tape, and silicone sealant. The job typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your experience. Critical steps include proper measurement, pre-drilling pilot holes, and applying weatherproof sealant to prevent leaks. While DIY-friendly, professional installation runs $200-400 and ensures proper alignment and weatherproofing.
How do I match new roof trim with existing cab accessories and ensure proper fitment?
Start by measuring your current trim or the mounting area if replacing damaged pieces. Standard widths range from 2 to 4 inches. Match the finish (polished, brushed, or painted) to your existing mirrors, grab handles, and other exterior accessories. For custom cabs or aftermarket sleepers, universal trim with adjustable mounting brackets offers the most flexibility. Order slightly longer pieces if needed - they can be trimmed to fit.
What maintenance is required to keep roof trim looking good, and how do I fix minor damage?
Stainless trim needs monthly washing with mild soap and occasional polishing with stainless-specific products. Chrome requires more frequent cleaning and waxing to prevent oxidation. Minor scratches on stainless can be buffed out with fine-grit compounds. For chrome, small chips can be touched up with chrome paint, but significant damage usually means replacement. Apply protective wax or sealant every 3-6 months to extend trim life in harsh conditions.
