Peterbilt 589 Roof Trim

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 589 Roof Trim

What exactly is included with Peterbilt 589 roof trim?

Roof trim pieces are the decorative and protective covers that fit along the roofline and cab edges of the Peterbilt 589. Depending on the specific product, this can include roof caps, roof trim panels, or overlay pieces that finish out the top of the cab and help conceal seams or hardware from the factory roof line.

Will this roof trim fit my Peterbilt 589 without modification?

Roof trim in this category is designed to match the factory contours of the Peterbilt 589 cab, so it should install using existing mounting points or factory-style fasteners in most cases. That said, cab configuration, sleeper style, and any prior aftermarket roof modifications can affect fit, so it is a good idea to confirm your truck's exact specs against the product description before ordering.

What materials and finishes are available?

Most roof trim pieces are made from stainless steel or durable ABS plastic, depending on the specific part. Stainless options typically come in a polished or brushed finish for a long-lasting shine, while plastic or composite pieces are usually offered in a paintable or textured finish. Check the individual product listing to confirm the exact material and finish for the piece you are considering.

How difficult is it to install roof trim on my own?

Installation difficulty varies by product, but many roof trim pieces are designed for straightforward bolt-on or adhesive-backed installation using existing mounting locations. Basic hand tools are usually sufficient. If a piece requires drilling or precise alignment, we recommend having it installed by someone comfortable working at height on the cab roof, since proper fitment matters for both appearance and weather sealing.

Will adding roof trim affect weather sealing or create leaks?

Quality roof trim is designed to sit over factory seams and mounting points without interfering with existing seals. However, any time you introduce new fasteners or adhesive-mounted parts to the roof, proper installation is important to avoid water intrusion. Following the included instructions and using appropriate sealant where recommended will help ensure a clean, leak-free fit.
