Claim procedure

If a part fails, the purchaser must contact Prestige Soft Tops or the installer to determine if the failed part is covered under the terms of this warranty. If a warranty claim is necessary, Prestige Soft Tops will contact the manufacturer for a Return Material Authorisation. Pending warranty eligibility, Prestige Soft Tops will supply a replacement part to the installer. The defective part must be returned to Prestige Soft Tops with the serial number tag attached to the top in order to claim any warranty replacement or labour credit.

Labour Credit

Prestige Soft Tops will honour an 18 month pro-rated labour credit of AU$90.00 per hour to the professional installer. The number of hours is based on the recommended fitting hours outlined on the product description. This covers labour to fit an eligible warranty claim part only.
