Peterbilt 389 Glider Dash Nuts & Screws

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Glider Dash Nuts & Screws

What are these dash nuts and screws used for?

These fasteners are designed to secure interior dash panels, trim pieces, gauges, and switch housings inside the Peterbilt 389 Glider cab. They are the small hardware components that hold the dashboard assembly together and keep panels from rattling or coming loose over time.

Will these fasteners fit my specific Peterbilt 389 Glider dash setup?

These nuts and screws are designed to match the factory hardware specifications used in Peterbilt 389 Glider dash assemblies. However, because dash configurations can vary slightly depending on the build year and options installed, we recommend comparing the thread size, length, and head style of your existing hardware to the product listing before ordering.

What material and finish are these nuts and screws made from?

Most of these fasteners are made from stainless steel or zinc-plated steel to resist corrosion and everyday wear inside the cab. The finish helps maintain a clean appearance on visible dash hardware while providing reliable holding strength.

Can I reuse my old dash nuts and screws instead of replacing them?

You can reuse hardware if it is still in good condition, but repeated removal and installation can wear down threads or cause stripping, especially with smaller screws. If you notice stripped threads, rust, rounded heads, or difficulty getting a secure fit, replacing the fasteners is the more reliable option.

How do I know which size or thread pitch I need?

The best way to confirm the correct size is to remove the existing screw or nut and measure the diameter, thread pitch, and length, or bring the old part with you for comparison. Product listings typically include these specifications, so matching them to your removed hardware will help ensure a proper fit.
