Peterbilt 389 Visors

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 389 Visors

What is the purpose of a Peterbilt 389 exterior visor?

A Peterbilt 389 visor mounts above the windshield on the exterior of the cab to help block sunlight and glare from above, giving the driver a clearer view of the road. Beyond function, visors are also a popular styling upgrade that gives the truck a lower, more aggressive profile.

Will this visor fit my specific Peterbilt 389?

Most visors in this category are designed to fit the standard Peterbilt 389 cab, but fitment can vary depending on cab configuration, model year, and whether your truck has any factory modifications. We recommend checking the product description for listed fitment details and reaching out to our team with your VIN or cab specifics if you are unsure before ordering.

What materials are these visors made from, and do they come pre-finished?

Visors are typically made from fiberglass or ABS plastic, chosen for durability and the ability to hold a smooth, paintable finish. Some are sold in a raw, unfinished gel-coat state ready for paint, while others may be available pre-primed. Be sure to check each listing to confirm whether the visor is raw, primed, or finished before you buy.

Do I need to drill holes in my truck to install a visor?

Yes, installing an exterior visor generally requires drilling mounting holes into the cab to secure the brackets or hardware. Most visors include the necessary mounting hardware and instructions, but this is a permanent modification to the cab, so proper measurement and care during installation are important. If you are not comfortable drilling into your truck, we recommend having the visor installed by a qualified body shop or truck accessory installer.

Can I still mount lights or accessories on my cab after installing a visor?

In many cases, yes, but it depends on the visor design and where you plan to mount additional accessories like light bars or antennas. Some visors are designed with pre-drilled holes for common light placements, while others are plain and require you to measure and drill your own mounting points. Check the specific product details or contact us if you have a particular light or accessory setup in mind so we can help confirm compatibility.
