Peterbilt 379 Windshield, Wiper & Roof Acc.

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 379 Windshield, Wiper & Roof Acc.

Will these windshield, wiper, and roof accessories fit my Peterbilt 379?

Most products in this category are designed specifically for the Peterbilt 379, but fitment can vary depending on the model year and cab configuration, such as whether your truck has a standard or extended roof. Always check the product description for specific year ranges and cab notes before purchasing, and contact our support team if you are unsure about compatibility with your specific truck.

What materials are these windshield and roof components made from?

Depending on the specific part, you will find components made from materials like stainless steel, chrome-plated steel, aluminum, or durable rubber and polymer for seals and trim. Stainless and chrome pieces are popular for their corrosion resistance and appearance, while rubber and polymer parts are chosen for their flexibility and weather sealing properties.

Are these parts OEM or aftermarket, and how does that affect fit and quality?

This category includes both OEM-style replacement parts and aftermarket accessories from trusted manufacturers. OEM-style parts are built to match factory specifications for a precise fit, while aftermarket options may offer additional styling choices or upgraded finishes. Product listings will typically note whether an item is OEM-style or aftermarket so you can choose based on your priorities for fit versus appearance.

Can I install these windshield and roof accessories myself, or do I need a professional?

Many items, such as visors, trim pieces, and wiper components, can be installed with basic hand tools and a bit of mechanical know-how. However, parts that involve windshield seals, glass replacement, or roof-mounted accessories that require drilling or sealing may benefit from professional installation to ensure a proper seal and avoid leaks or wind noise. If you are unsure, check the product instructions or consult a qualified technician.

How do I maintain these parts to prevent rust, cracking, or leaks over time?

Regularly cleaning chrome and stainless components with a non-abrasive cleaner helps maintain their finish and prevent corrosion, especially in winter months when road salt is present. Rubber seals and gaskets should be inspected periodically for cracking or wear, as these can lead to water leaks or wind noise if left unaddressed. Replacing worn seals promptly and keeping wiper components lubricated as needed will help extend the life of your windshield and roof accessories.
