Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo VNL Gen II Frame Nut Covers

Will these frame nut covers fit my specific Volvo VNL Gen II model year?

These frame nut covers are designed specifically for Volvo VNL Gen II models from 2018 to present. They are compatible with all VNL configurations including 300, 400, 640, 740, and 860 models. The covers fit standard 33mm lug nuts used on Volvo factory wheels. If you have aftermarket wheels with different lug nut sizes, please verify your lug nut dimensions before ordering.

What material are these covers made from, and how long will they last?

Our Volvo VNL Gen II frame nut covers are manufactured from either high-grade ABS plastic or stainless steel, depending on the style you choose. The ABS plastic versions feature UV-resistant chrome plating that resists fading and cracking for 3-5 years under normal conditions. Stainless steel options are made from 304-grade steel that provides superior corrosion resistance and typically last 7-10 years or more. Both materials are tested to withstand extreme temperatures from -40?F to 150?F.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes 30-45 minutes for a complete set. No special tools are required - the covers either push-fit directly onto your existing lug nuts or thread on depending on the style. For push-fit models, ensure lug nuts are clean and dry before installation. Some drivers use a rubber mallet for a secure fit, though hand pressure is usually sufficient. Thread-on models simply screw onto your existing lug nuts and can be hand-tightened.

What styles and finishes are available for the VNL Gen II?

We offer several styles including pointed, dome, and flat-top designs. Finish options include chrome-plated ABS, polished stainless steel, and powder-coated colors (black, red, blue). The most popular choices are the chrome pointed style for a classic look and the stainless steel dome style for maximum durability. All styles maintain the same fitment specifications and are interchangeable on your VNL Gen II.

How do I prevent these covers from falling off during driving?

Proper installation is key to retention. Clean your lug nuts thoroughly with brake cleaner before installation to remove any oil or debris. For push-fit models, ensure each cover clicks firmly into place - you should feel resistance when properly seated. Check covers after the first 100 miles and retighten if needed. For areas with heavy road salt or frequent washing, we recommend thread-on styles or adding a small amount of blue thread locker for extra security.
