EXCLUSIONS FROM WARRANTY
INSTALLATION - Improperly installed items, or any item not installed as originally designed & installed can fail prematurely. Use of worn or improperly constructed pads may cause premature failure of the convertible top. Any change or alteration beyond original design, other than normal installation procedure, will void warranty.
WEAVING FLAWS - All woven materials are subject to weaving imperfections. We cut all cloth tops across the roll or into the roll. We carefully screen all cloth to be cut, but cannot be held responsible for shading variations or minor weaving imperfections which are characteristic of any woven material. Not all convertible tops lend themselves to be made in cloth, due to shading variations created by the angles of the joined pieces.
SHRINKAGE - All materials are subject to normal shrinkage due to surrounding conditions as well as the aging process. Abnormal or continual exposure to extreme light, heat, and high humidity will result in higher degrees of shrinkage.
FADING- All materials & thread are subject to normal fading due to environmental conditions. Use of chemical cleaners, solvents, etc, as well as prolonged exposure to extreme light, heat, and high humidity will result in higher degrees of fading.
NORMAL WEAR - Only First quality materials are used in production. All materials are subject to normal wear and tear, especially at high stress fold or flex points and are not covered under this warranty. Normal wear is not considered a "defect".
TOP FRAMES - We cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by any frame, which is misaligned, worn, or in any other way less than proper working condition. In addition, we cannot be held responsible for damage caused by any frame which is recognized as having been poorly designed and which is known to cause premature failure of the top or glass. IE: LEBARON FRAMES & MANY OTHERS FROM 1983-ON.
NON-OE MATERIALS - Due to material construction & frame design, some materials may not be suitable for every application.
See part # for specific warranty information, if any.
DISCLAIMERS
Items to be returned for examination & credit must be carefully removed & returned in their entirety. No credit allowance possible for any item which is cut off at the tacking strip or the zipper strip.
With the exception of "RaggTopp" products, we do not recommend any form of protectants or cleaners. Our experience has shown prolonged exposure to direct sunlight of certain types of these products (such as Armorall ) could actually cause material failure such as fading, discoloration, streaking, etc. The chemicals or solvents in some these products may cause degradation of the chemical bond between the material trim & the glass, causing de-lamination of the material from the glass.
When folding ANY convertible up or down, the car MUST BE STATIONARY. Opening or raising a convertible top while in motion will cause the top frame and material to act as a giant scoop. SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE TOP MATERIAL AND FRAME IS LIKELY.
