Peterbilt 587 Visors

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 587 Visors

Will this visor fit my Peterbilt 587 without modification?

Visors listed in this category are designed to match the factory windshield and cab contour of the Peterbilt 587, so they should line up with the existing mounting points without cutting or reshaping. That said, small variations can occur between production years, so it is a good idea to confirm the model year of your truck and check the fitment notes on each product page before ordering.

What material are these visors made from, and how durable is it?

Most Peterbilt 587 visors are constructed from fiberglass, which is valued for its strength, resistance to cracking, and ability to hold a smooth finish over time. Fiberglass also stands up well to road vibration and temperature swings, making it a common choice for exterior cab accessories like this.

Do these visors come painted, or will I need to have them finished?

Visors are typically sold unpainted (in gel-coat or primed finish) so they can be color-matched to your specific truck. This gives you flexibility to have the visor painted to match your cab color at installation, rather than being locked into a factory paint option.

What does installation involve, and can I do it myself?

Installation generally involves mounting the visor using brackets or hardware that attach to the existing holes or structure above the windshield. Many customers install these themselves with basic tools, but because the visor is mounted at height and needs to be properly secured, some installers prefer to have a body shop or truck accessory shop handle the job to ensure a solid, weather-tight fit.

Will a visor actually reduce glare and sun exposure while driving?

Yes, the primary function of a cab visor is to block direct overhead sunlight from hitting the windshield and driver's eyes, which can reduce glare and eye strain during sunrise, sunset, and overhead sun conditions. Keep in mind that a visor is a supplement to, not a replacement for, sunglasses or a windshield sun shade in especially bright conditions.
