Problems with the side trim of a truck cab fairing: causes and solutions 🚛

Cabin fairing side trim (also known as fairing side trim) is one of the most popular spare parts in our line for Russian and Belarusian trucks. This white plastic component with a complex curved shape not only enhances the appearance of the car, but also closes the gaps between the fairing and the body, improves aerodynamics and reduces fuel consumption. However, during operation, especially during long trips on difficult roads and extreme temperatures, it may encounter a number of problems. In this article, we'll look at the most common problems and easy solutions, as well as our easy quote request process and fast shipping.

The most common side fairing problems

1. Separation from fasteners and appearance of gaps

This is the most common problem faced by our clients from Russia and Belarus. The reason may be:

• Poor surface preparation during installation (wax residues, dirt or moisture on the body);
• Wear of mounting bolts or degradation of 3M adhesive due to temperature changes;
• Explosive air at high speeds or impact with small obstacles (stones, branches).

Solution:

• Remove the trim and thoroughly clean the contact surfaces of dirt, wax and old adhesive using isopropyl alcohol;
• Replace worn fasteners with new ones (our company supplies them complete with the casing);
• Use high quality 3M automotive adhesive for extra hold, especially around tight curves;
• Make sure that the skin fits tightly to the body without gaps - this guarantees effective aerodynamics.

2. Cracks and destruction of plastic

In cold regions (especially in winter in Russia), plastic may lose flexibility and be subject to cracking:

• Contact with frozen rocks or ice while driving;
• Incorrect dismantling work when repairing other components;
• Long-term exposure to direct sunlight in summer and frost in winter.

Solution:

• Small cracks can be repaired with a special plastic sealant for automotive parts;
• If there are major damages or loss of structural integrity, it is recommended to replace the casing with a new one (our products are made of durable plastic, resistant to temperatures from -40°C to +80°C);
• To prevent cracks in winter, do not use hot air to thaw ice on the skin - this can lead to microcracks opening.

3. Dirt sticking and clogging gaps

On rural roads or when transporting dusty goods, the gaps between the trim and the body quickly become clogged with dirt:

• This reduces the aerodynamic properties of the car and increases fuel consumption;
• Dirt can cause corrosion of metal elements under the skin;
• When moisture is present, dirt begins to make strange sounds when driving.

Solution:

• Clean gaps regularly with a soft brush and water without harsh chemicals;
• After washing, check the condition of the fasteners - dirt can cause them to jam;
• If the casing is used in dusty conditions, install additional anti-dust seals (available to order from our company).
