Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo VNL Gen II Windshield Accessories
Will these windshield accessories fit my 2018-2024 Volvo VNL truck?
Yes, our Volvo VNL Gen II windshield accessories are specifically designed for the 2018 and newer VNL models, including VNL 760, VNL 860, VNL 300, and VNL 400 series. These accessories are engineered to match the updated windshield dimensions and mounting points introduced with the Generation II redesign. Always verify your VIN and model year before ordering, as pre-2018 VNL trucks have different windshield configurations.
What materials are the sun visors and windshield trim made from, and how long will they last?
Our sun visors feature heavy-duty stainless steel construction with either polished or powder-coated finishes, while windshield trim pieces are made from aircraft-grade aluminum or chrome-plated ABS plastic, depending on the specific product. Based on customer feedback, stainless steel visors typically last 5-7 years with minimal maintenance, while chrome trim pieces maintain their finish for 3-5 years under normal highway conditions. All materials are UV-resistant and designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for windshield visors and bug deflectors?
Most windshield accessories can be installed with basic hand tools in 30-60 minutes. Sun visors typically require drilling 4-6 mounting holes using the included template and a standard drill with metal bits. Bug deflectors often use no-drill clamp systems that attach to existing windshield frame points. We provide detailed installation instructions with each product, and many customers report successful DIY installation. However, for optimal alignment and warranty protection, professional installation is recommended for multi-piece trim kits.
What styles and finishes are available for VNL Gen II windshield accessories?
We offer three main styles: Classic (traditional straight-edge design), Aerodynamic (curved profile for better fuel efficiency), and Custom (with LED light cutouts). Finish options include mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless, black powder coat, and chrome-plated versions. Sun visors range from 13 to 20 inches in drop length, while bug deflectors come in standard and extended widths to accommodate different driving conditions and aesthetic preferences.
Will adding a sun visor or bug deflector affect my fuel economy or create wind noise?
Properly installed aerodynamic-style sun visors typically have minimal impact on fuel economy (less than 1% decrease reported by most drivers). Some customers experience slight wind noise at speeds above 65 mph with larger drop visors, which can usually be resolved by adjusting the mounting angle or adding edge trim. Bug deflectors are designed with wind-tunnel tested profiles that actually help direct airflow over the cab, potentially reducing bug splatter without significant fuel economy impact. Choose shorter drop visors (13-15 inches) if wind noise is a primary concern.
