Frequently Asked Questions About Volvo VT880 Windshield Accessories
Will these windshield accessories fit my specific year model VT880?
Most windshield accessories for the Volvo VT880 are designed to fit models from 2003 to 2007. However, there can be slight variations between early and late production years. Always verify the specific year range listed in the product description, and if you have a 2003 or 2007 model, we recommend contacting our customer service team to confirm fitment before ordering.
How difficult is it to install windshield visors or bug deflectors on my VT880?
Installation typically takes 30-60 minutes and requires basic hand tools. Most windshield visors use a no-drill mounting system with adhesive tape and clamps that attach to existing mounting points. Bug deflectors usually mount with provided brackets and hardware. While professional installation isn't required, having a second person helps with alignment. Detailed instructions are included with each product.
What's the difference between acrylic and stainless steel windshield accessories?
Acrylic accessories like bug deflectors are lightweight, affordable, and available in tinted or clear options. They're impact-resistant but can scratch over time. Stainless steel accessories offer superior durability and a classic chrome appearance but are heavier and typically more expensive. Stainless steel is ideal for drivers prioritizing longevity and professional appearance, while acrylic works well for cost-conscious buyers.
Do windshield visors actually reduce wind noise and improve fuel economy?
Yes, properly installed windshield visors can reduce wind buffeting and cabin noise by redirecting airflow over the cab. Many drivers report a 2-3 MPG improvement in fuel economy at highway speeds, though results vary based on driving conditions and speed. The aerodynamic benefits are most noticeable during long-haul trips at consistent highway speeds above 55 mph.
Will adding windshield accessories interfere with my EZ Pass or PrePass transponders?
Most windshield accessories are designed to work with standard transponder mounting locations. Bug deflectors sit below the typical transponder zone, and exterior visors don't affect interior-mounted devices. However, if you have concerns about signal interference, choose accessories that maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from your transponder mounting area. Interior sun visors should be positioned to avoid blocking transponder signals.
