Warranty Transfer

All limited warranties commence on the date of installation and are not transferable to subsequent purchasers of the vehicle in which the Sunroof Express Products are installed. The warranty period is not extended by installation of replacement products.

Warranty Claims Procedure

In the event that you discover a defect in material or workmanship covered by this warranty or otherwise experience a failure of your Sunroof Express Products during the warranty period (or 7 days from following discovery of the defect in the case of repair labor warranties), you must contact Sunroof Express by phone at (800) 444-8867 or via email to support@sunroofexpress.net within the applicable warranty period. You are solely responsible for transporting your Sunroof Express Products to a Repair Facility designated or approved by Sunroof Express. Proof of registered ownership of the vehicle in which the Sunroof Express Products are installed must be presented prior to any request for warranty service in order to obtain coverage.

Sunroof Express and/or the authorized service center shall thereafter investigate the possible defect or failure in order to determine whether coverage under this limited warranty exists. Sunroof Express’s accepted method of testing shall be determinative of the existence of any defect or failure which may be covered by this limited warranty. If Sunroof Express or its authorized service facility determines that your Sunroof Express Products are eligible for warranty work, Sunroof Express shall be responsible for the cost of repairing or replacing the defective product or component. If it is determined that warranty coverage is not available, you will be responsible for all labor, material and other expenses associated with the service.

Warranty Exclusions

Sunroof Express’s limited warranty requires that the product be used and maintained in accordance with the Owner’s Manual, or the warranty may be void. In addition, the warranty does not apply under the conditions listed below. You are solely responsible for:

  • Glass, plastic or acrylic breakage;
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Damage due to failure to use and service Sunroof Express Products in accordance with instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual or from improper usage, accident or abuse, including improper operation of convertible tops or usage of T-tops
