Our Warranty does not cover damage caused to our products by failure to properly operate a convertible top and glass or plastic window by not following the procedures outlined in your owner’s manual. Our warranty furthermore does not cover any damage caused by abuse, whether accidental or intentional, or damage which may occur during installation of our products; or caused by failure to use or replace pads, side cables, rain rails or other original components; or by use of improper cleaning techniques or cleaning solutions. Warranty is void if sewn in tag with serial number is removed from the product.

For a period of Twenty-four (24) months from the date of first installation to the original owner, Robbins Auto Top, LLC will repair or replace defective units for the following reasons: cracking or breaking of plastic components (excluding plastic windows); delamination of the seams; failure or separation of the stitching (excluding fading); delamination of the topping material (excluding Everflex which is one (1) year).

Glass Window Heater Grids & Clips: All window heater components are factory tested before shipping and are guaranteed to operate properly at the time of installation. No warranty is offered on these components after the unit is installed. Testing of the grids prior to installation is recommended as no labor credit is available for this defect once installed.

Glass Window Distortion: All glass windows are inspected for distortion during the production process. No warranty is offered for window distortion after the unit has been installed. Careful examination of the glass prior to installation is recommended as no labor credit is available for this defect once installed.

Glass Window Breakage: There is no warranty against breakage of glass windows since we have no control over the use and treatment of glass windows during or after installation.

Plastic Windows: All Plastic windows are inspected for distortion, discoloration, scratches, and blemishes during the production process. No warranty is offered for these issues after the unit has been installed. Careful examination of the window prior to installation is recommended as no labor credit is available for these issues once installed. UV light and certain atmospheric conditions will degrade the plastic windows and therefore we offer no warranty on plastic windows for any reason, including but not limited to, scratches, cracking discoloration or degradation after the unit is installed.

Window Tinting: Application of window tint to glass windows in our convertible tops and glass window assemblies voids our warranty. Window tint (or the installation process) can damage heater defroster grid lines and cause other damage to the glass.

Knots and Minor Blemishes, Direction of Weave in Cloth Toppings: Small knots and blemishes can occur in all cloth toppings due to limitations in the capabilities of the looms which weave the cloth. We cut our tops to obtain optimum stretch for decks, quarters and reinforcements to insure the best fit and long service life. However when we cut cloth toppings with directional weaves such as the twill weaves used in our Sun-Fast "G", Twillfast, or German Cloth toppings, decks and quarters may have weaves cut in different directions to obtain the best fit for our products.

Normal Color Fading and Shrinkage: All sport toppings, vinyl or cloth, will experience some color fading and normal shrinkage over time. Robbins cannot be held responsible for this unavoidable "aging" process.

Damage Caused by Worn or Defective Top Frames, Flawed Design of Tops and Top Frames by OEM Manufacturers: Robbins is not responsible for damage to our products, or to the convertibles on which they are installed, resulting from worn, bent or otherwise defective top frames; or defective or missing straps, pads, cables, deep well liner, or other components. Examples: 1997-02 Porsche Boxster, 1987-95 LeBaron, 1989 Mustang, 2005-09 Mustang, 1987-95 BMW 3-Series, 1990-94 Capri, 1990-2002 Mercedes SL, and many other convertibles may have problems which are inherent in the basic design, for which we cannot be held responsible. Vehicle manufacturers generally release TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) outlining inherent problems with vehicles and recommend solutions. TSB’s may be obtained from an authorized dealer or third party source such as AllData.com.

Damage Caused by failure to install side cables or other components, or Incorrect Installation: Robbins cannot be held responsible for damage to our products, or to top frame, interior, body, or other area of the convertible caused by failure to use, correctly install or replace side or rear cables, weatherseals, rain rails, top and quarter pads, straps, fasteners or other components installed as original equipment by the convertible manufacturer. Robbins furthermore is not responsible for damage to our products or the convertible on which they are installed caused by use of incorrect tools or improper installation procedures.

Improper Cleaning or Abuse: Any damage to our products caused by improper cleaning techniques, or use of inappropriate cleaning solutions or solvents, or damage caused by customer abuse whether accidental or intentional, is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

Zippers, Fasteners and Hardware: These items are inspected and tested during the production process and are guaranteed to be operating properly at the time of shipment. No warranty is offered after the unit has been installed. Careful examination of these items prior to installation is recommended as no labor credit is available for any defects once installed. Always treat zippers and fasteners with care. Always unlatch the top at front before operating zipper on any convertible top or window. Brass zippers should be lubricated regularly using a small amount of bar soap on the teeth.

Color Fading of Thread: Threads are not colorfast and will fade over time. Our black thread offers the highest resistance to fading over any black thread in use, but may fade slightly over time.

Any alteration, modification, substitution of components, etc. that in any manner alters the appearance or the way in which the products function, automatically voids the Warranty protection. Robbins Limited Warranty applies to the original purchaser of our products. Any sale or transfer of the vehicle to another party will void the warranty. The warranty card included with the product should be completed and returned to Robbins Auto Top Company. Alternatively, you may register your product online at www.robbinsautotop.com.

Damage caused by failure to properly operate a Convertible Top, Tonneau Cover, etc. is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Most damage of this nature occurs when convertibles are loaned to friends or relatives who are unfamiliar with convertibles. The most common cause of Glass Window breakage is obstruction of the glass during raising or lowering. Before lowering any Convertible Top, make sure the storage compartment is free of any foreign object such as beach towels, toys, tools etc. In convertibles with soft (pouch type) wells, be sure nothing is underlying the well, and that all trunk contents is secured. Spare tire, tools, cartons, etc., can shift and cause damage when the top is operated. Another cause of glass breakage can be metal top frame components which are out of alignment. If you notice any irregular movement, stiffness, or other problem in lowering or raising your top, immediately take your convertible to an Automotive Trim and Upholstery Shop, or to the OEM dealer to have the frame mechanism inspected. . Additionally, in some convertibles the rear seat backrest can bend over time, and as a result the glass window can snag on the rear seat backrest and shatter when the top is operated. We recommend strongly that you always watch carefully as you raise and lower your convertible top and glass rear window to avoid the sorts of problems described.
