LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
WARRANTY COVERAGE
Warranties are subject to the terms and conditions below. All warranty considerations apply for original retail purchaser only.
A.R.E. warrants to the original retail purchaser of an A.R.E. brand berglass truck cap, that the body will be structurally free
from defects in material and workmanship for as long as you own your cap and the original vehicle. The body includes the
berglass shell and mounting rails only. A.R.E. warrants to you, the original purchaser, for as long as you own your cap that
the exterior paint will not abnormally fade or peel due to material or workmanship defect faster than the original pickup it was
installed on by an authorized A.R.E. retail dealer. Due to truck manufacturer variance, exact color match is not guaranteed.
The spray-on protective coating material used to produce the Overland Series and OTR option has a limited lifetime warranty
not to crack, bubble, or ake as well as a 3-year warranty not to abnormally fade or lose its luster.
HARDWARE
For the original purchaser, lock cylinder, keyless entry, lock housing, berglass wings, and center mounted brake lights are
warranted for three (3) years from your retail date of purchase against failure due to defects in material and workmanship.
Gas props used to assist in opening doors are covered under a ve (5) year limited warranty against failure due to loss of
pressure. This warranty does not cover damage due to misuse or neglect. Never wipe the shaft of the props with anything
other than a dry soft cloth. Regular operation of the props will actually increase the life by lubricating the seals and shafts.
Aluminum framed windows, aluminum framed doors and tailgate formed doors frames and their hardware, 12 volt and
rope lighting, battery lights, prop light switch and ActiveTilt™ are warranted for one (1) year from your purchase date from
an authorized A.R.E. retailer, from failure due to defects in material or workmanship. Also covered for one (1) year are all
seals, brackets, locking hardware, and screens. Glass breakage is not covered under this or any other warranty.
Frameless windows installed with urethane are warranted for one (1) year from your purchase date from an authorized
A.R.E. retailer, from failure due to the urethane seal resulting in leaking. Glass breakage is not covered under this or any
other warranty.
EXCLUSIONS
Not covered under this warranty is structural failure due to neglect, alterations, addition of equipment, abuse, accident,
off-road driving, use in competitive racing, vibrations from worn or altered truck suspensions or sound equipment, or acts
of nature including but not limited to tornados, hurricanes, hail, and earthquakes.
If a known problem exists with an A.R.E. product, it is the owner’s responsibility to immediately bring the issue to the
attention of an authorized A.R.E. Dealer. Failure to do so could result in additional, more severe problems and constitutes
(but is not limited to) neglect, which is not covered.
Stress cracks in the berglass body that begin from a window, boot, door opening or from the base rail are considered
structural or material aws and are covered under warranty for as long as the A.R.E. truck cap is owned by the original
purchaser. The exception to this warranty is when it is determined by A.R.E. or its authorized dealer that such stress crack(s)
were caused from misuse, abuse, collision or competitive racing. If a stress crack occurs it should be repaired without delay
to prevent future failures due to neglect.
Stress cracks in the exterior nish caused by impact are not covered under warranty. A stress crack caused by impact from
the inside of the truck cap has the appearance of a “star” on the outside surface. A stress crack caused by impact to the
outside of the truck cap will cause circular stress cracks. Both stress cracks radiate from a center point(s) of impact. Impact
cracks are usually on the sidewalls of the body. A mark may or may not be visible at the point of impact.
Consequential damage or loss due to the installation, use, misuse, abuse or neglect of A.R.E. truck caps is the sole responsi-
bility of the pickup owner and operator. Paint wear to your truck’s bed is normal and is expected with the installation and the
use of any truck cap or tonneau and is the sole responsibility of the pickup owner. Precautions should be taken by the pickup
owner to prevent corrosion. A.R.E. shall not be held liable for any consequential loss or damages arising from the purchase,
installation or use of these products.
No implied warranty or tness for a particular purpose, if any, shall extend for a longer duration than the terms of this
written warranty.
In some cases you may be charged labor by the A.R.E. retailer performing the service, if the product was purchased through
a different retail outlet.
WARRANTY PROCESS
In the event of a warranted product failure it is A.R.E.’s discretion to repair or replace the defective part(s). A.R.E. reserves
the right to replace any parts with current production parts of equal or greater quality and value. All claims must be made to
the authorized A.R.E. dealer from whom you purchased your truck cap. If you have relocated and/or are unable to return to
