  • If the return is due to an incorrect part in the package, we will consider it a warranty issue and follow the return policy accordingly.
  • Bestop does not test its products in combination with aftermarket components and cannot guarantee fitment or compatibility. Bestop is not liable for damage to or caused by third-party products used in conjunction with Bestop products. Any damage resulting from the use of aftermarket parts or accessories will not be covered under warranty.
  • Normal wear and tear.

*Please note that parts received under our warranty policy cannot be returned for a refund on the original purchase.*

Bestop Inc. provides a warranty for its products as outlined in our warranty policy. However, please be aware that Bestop Inc. is not responsible for any import fees, taxes, or customs duties imposed by foreign governments on products covered by our warranty. Any such charges are the sole responsibility of the customer. It is the customer’s obligation to cover all relevant costs associated with the importation of warranty-covered products into their country.

While most Bestop products are designed for self-installation, certain products, such as our eTop line, require professional installation. Regardless of whether a product is self-installed or requires professional installation, Bestop does not cover labor charges for the removal, repair, or reinstallation of any item. If damage occurs during a professional installation, the installer is responsible for replacement or repair.

 

The warranty applies to the ORIGINAL PURCHASER listed on the proof of purchase and is not transferable or assignable, including the product included with a vehicle purchase. The warranty does not apply to any product bought from auction-style or price-bid websites, even when advertised as new or unopened (e.g. eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist). Closeout, open-box, or “Used” purchases from third-party purchasers (e.g. Amazon) are also excluded from the warranty.

Any shipping damage, missing parts, or other order issues must be reported with proof of purchase images or other supporting documentation within 30 DAYS of delivery.

WARRANTY SUPPORT

During the warranty period, Bestop will replace products that are verified as non-compliant with quality standards and measurements. Our team may ask for specific measurements to bring to our Quality Team for comparison. Items fitting incorrectly due to an installation discrepancy will be navigated with our Customer Service team for improvement. The specific part that is misfitting or defective is what will be replaced.

If Bestop is to replace your product, reasonable efforts will be made to match the color and texture of your existing product, but we are unable to guarantee a perfect match. If Bestop is not able to match the color or texture, we will do our best to match it as closely as possible. In the case of a replacement, Bestop may want the defective product returned for investigation or request that the item be field destroyed.

HOW TO FILE A CLAIM

Step 1: Make sure your product is registered. Warranty claims can only be filed against a registered Bestop product. Not registered yet? Register your product → It only takes a minute. Already registered? Continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Take your photos before you start the form. You’ll attach them directly to the form, so it helps to have them ready. We recommend:

  • Several exterior shots, including taillights and headlights. For the best angle, stand at the driver’s door and take 10 steps back, then repeat from the other side.
  • Any broken or cracked hardware, and any area of concern.
  • One photo from the rear, showing the rear window.
  • One photo from the front, showing the windshield connection.
  • Any areas where the fabric attaches to the hardware, so we can verify alignment and installation.
  • Any locations where the hardware connects to the vehicle.

Here are examples of what we’re looking for:
Soft Top Photos · Sunrider Photos

Step 3: Fill out the form below. You’ll choose your registered product, tell us what went wrong, and attach your photos. You can upload up to 8. No Receipt needed here; we have it from your registration. Please file within 30 days of discovering the defect.

Step 4: Check your confirmation email.
Right after you submit, you’ll get an automated email with your case number. Keep it, that’s your reference for the whole claim.

You don’t need to send us anything else. Your proof of purchase and your address both came over with your registration, so we already have them.

Reply to that email only if:

  • You’d like the replacement shipped somewhere else. Otherwise we’ll ship to the address you registered with. If you’re not sure what that was, use the address on your receipt or invoice.
  • You have more than 8 photos. Reply with the rest, and keep the reply under 25MB. Replying keeps them on the same claim instead of opening a second one.

What happens next: we review and respond to all inquiries within 48 business hours. Claims are approved once all information is received, so the more complete your photos in Step 3, the faster we can move.

Questions? Call our warranty team at 1-800-845-3567 with your case number. Ask for a callback for a guaranteed response by end of business.
