<strong>Electron</strong> <strong><strong>Top</strong>s</strong> WARRANTY<br />
PAGE 15<br />
Convertible <strong><strong>Top</strong>s</strong> - made out of American vinyl materials carry a 72 month warranty when installed on power operated frames<br />
and 24 months on manually operated frames. <strong><strong>Top</strong>s</strong> with built in glass or vinyl back windows and tops made in Stayfast, <strong>Top</strong>line or<br />
Sonnenland materials carry a 24 month warranty on both power and manually operated frames. WE warranty our tops not to delaminate<br />
or shrink excessively for the warranted period, (over 4% <strong>is</strong> considered excessive). All materials eventually fade, therefore, WE make no<br />
specifi c claim against fading.<br />
Glass Rear Window Assemblies - are warranted against separation of material from the glass for 24 months. <strong>Our</strong><br />
warranty does not include universal glass. Glass d<strong>is</strong>tortions are warranted, (some glass d<strong>is</strong>tortions can only be seen by tilting the glass at an<br />
angle), but labor costs are not reimbursable. Heater elements, connector clips and glass breakage are not warrantable after installation has<br />
been started, please inspect the glass and test the defroster carefully before starting installation. We also warranty the hinged section of our<br />
hinged glass from separating from the material but limited in the event the hinge splits.<br />
Should a <strong>Top</strong> or Glass Assembly Prove Defective - within the fi rst 12 months, the product will be replaced. After the<br />
fi rst year WE will start to prorate the item. We reserve the right to request photographs of the installation prior to removal.<br />
<strong>Electron</strong> <strong>Top</strong> <strong>is</strong> unable to warranty any product due to:<br />
(1) Acts of God or vandal<strong>is</strong>m.<br />
(2) Bad frame design, m<strong>is</strong>aligned or malfunctioning frames.<br />
(3) Wear or pinch holes made by the frame.<br />
(4) V<strong>is</strong>ible fl aws, tears, blem<strong>is</strong>hes, m<strong>is</strong>sing stitches or other noticeable faults after installation.<br />
Plastic Rear Window Assemblies - There <strong>is</strong> no warranty on plastic windows after installation has been started. Currently<br />
there are not any plastic windows that can withstand UV light therefore we cannot warranty any d<strong>is</strong>colorations. D<strong>is</strong>tortions or wrinkles must<br />
be found prior to installation. If a defect <strong>is</strong> found, a replacement will be made. Please Do Not allow masking tape or other adhesives to touch<br />
the vinyl window. Adhesives react with the vinyl and leave a permanent mark. We take special care not to pack any plastic window with<br />
masking tape touching the vinyl. Please Do Not store vinyls in a rolled position for more than 12 months, d<strong>is</strong>coloration and pits may result.<br />
Zippers - are not warranted, but with little care they can last a long time. In the case of brass zippers, a little soap rubbed on the<br />
teeth will keep the zipper working smoothly. It <strong>is</strong> adv<strong>is</strong>able not to zip or unzip a rear window when the top <strong>is</strong> latched down. Unlatch the front<br />
bow and place a spacer (a block of wood between the header bow and windshield frame) to keep the tension off the rear zipper prior to<br />
attaching or detaching.<br />
Material - WE at <strong>Electron</strong> <strong>Top</strong> use the fi nest materials to make our tops, however there are still some things that are totally<br />
out of our control. Small weave knots appear on the material from the mill and are accepted as the normal imperfections by GM, Chrysler and<br />
Ford. WE pride ourselves in our inspection process and try to eliminate these imperfections from our tops, but th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> not always possible. In<br />
addition, slight shade differences may be a result of cutting the material in different directions. Th<strong>is</strong> difference will usually d<strong>is</strong>appear or be<br />
reduced after the fi rst wash. Damages that are v<strong>is</strong>able to the naked eye must be reported before the installation <strong>is</strong> started. Credit will not be<br />
considered after installation <strong>is</strong> started. Examples are: mars in vinyls, fl aws in vinyl, holes, tears and or other blem<strong>is</strong>hes.<br />
Cleaners & Solvents - WE only recommend Raggtopp cleaners and protectants made by Wolfstein. These cleaners and protectants<br />
are the only ones endorsed by Haartz Auto Fabric, the number one manufacturer of convertible top fabrics. All vinyl material comes from<br />
the manufacturer with a protective clear coat. The use of petroleum, citrus based products and abrasive cleaners may destroy th<strong>is</strong> coating and<br />
void the warranty. Canvas tops and their linings should be retreated with Raggtopp after washing or the use of solvent based cement. For<br />
care and maintenance of your <strong>Electron</strong> <strong>Top</strong> product please refer to the brochure WE enclose with it.<br />
Labor - Installation of an <strong>Electron</strong><strong>Top</strong> constitutes reg<strong>is</strong>tration of the warranty. In the unlikely event a claim <strong>is</strong> made, WE will<br />
require proof of purchase (a photocopy of the original invoice). If a top or glass assembly of ours has proven to be defective within the fi rst year,<br />
WE will <strong>is</strong>sue a standard labor credit (you can call to confi rm the offered labor). There will not be any labor credit <strong>is</strong>sued after 12 months.<br />
Labor credits are at <strong>Electron</strong> <strong>Top</strong>’s sole d<strong>is</strong>cretion and are <strong>is</strong>sued as a direct credit to the installer of the replacement in the form of product<br />
(another top, glass assm. etc.).<br />
WE do not authorize any person or representative to alter the text of our warranty. <strong>Our</strong> Warranty applies to items only<br />
manufactured by <strong>Electron</strong> <strong>Top</strong> and installed by a professional upholstery shop. The warranty period starts 30 days after sale or installation<br />
to the end user whichever comes fi rst and <strong>is</strong> not transferable.<br />
