Frequently Asked Questions

The short and most accurate answer is NO, but we are talking Jeeps here. As we all know, FCA/MOPAR/JEEP does an absolutely horrible job with their "water management" system. If you've ever owned or driven a brand new Wrangler, you can hear the wind flowing through your brand new $60k Wrangler. The front Freedom Panels never seal right, noisy and leaky. So, although we're not perfect, we do our best to enhance or perfect the "water management" system Jeep installs. We operate with less than a 2% warranty claims for leaks, the best in the industry!!

We do not warranty against leaks, if your new Patriot Fastbacks top is leaking, it's normally an installation issue, worn out weather stripping or the Jeep has been off-road or in an accident. Our molds for the TJ/TJU/JK/JKU and JLU are all made utilizing the highest technology available for design, then are test fitted on one of our (never been off-road) Wranglers we own. We have these beautiful $100k rigs that we test product on, but they've never been off-road and we know the entire history of the vehicles, so we know there's no unseen issues. Can you say the same for yours?

**Pressurized car washes are NOT rain simulators, we WILL NOT warranty leaks from the car wash**

You can absolutely order your top without the Black texture Urethane Raptor we use on the outside of all our products. There is no additional charge for the primer finish, just like there's no charge for the Urethane Raptor finish, the choice is yours. Things to keep in mind though... Any top shipped as primer or unpainted: It is unreasonable to ask Patriot Fastbacks to warranty any paint or surface area that has been painted or modified by an outside company. Furthermore, Patriot Fastbacks will not warranty any leaks, imperfections, blemishes, fading or paint bubbling from any outside person or company that has applied the weather stripping or gaskets on their own. So use a reputable shop, that has experience with fiberglass, it has totally different qualities and reactions than metal surfaces. When we ship unpainted, the tops ARE NOT paint ready, they must be properly prepped.
