How do I correctly close my tailgate with the WildTop Installed?
We’d like to share the correct method for opening your tailgate and ensuring the long-lasting durability and waterproof performance of your cover.
1) Unzip the canvas and lift it up out of the way before opening the tailgate. You can either roll it up and secure it using the provided straps or unzip it enough so it won’t get caught in the tailgate.
2) Carefully close the tailgate, ensuring the canvas is not obstructing the closure.
3) Rezip the canvas after closing the tailgate to create a tight, waterproof seal.
4) Ensure cover drapes down past the top edge of the tailgate.
By following these simple steps, you’ll ensure no damage comes to your WildTop and that your cargo remains protected from the elements.

Can I drive in Safari Mode (with the windows rolled up)?
Yes! in 2024 we upgraded the magnets used in the straps that hold up the sides of the cap to allow users to drive with the sides rolled up.
Is there any extra conditioning required for the WildTop canvas?
No, unlike other soft toppers, no other additional purchases or products are required to condition the WildTop beyond the standard conditioning explained in your installation guide and listed here. To maintain the WildTop's physical performance and aesthetic luster, and in particular, the waterproof performance of the canvas follow this proper conditioning method.
Start by fitting the cap to your truck. Then thoroughly wet the canvas with a garden hose, making sure to cover both the inside and the outside. Allow the cap to fully dry, preferably in the sun. Repeat 2 or 3 more times. This allows the fabric to settle after transport and packaging. That’s it!
Additional Tips:
The following key points will help maximise the durability and life of your canvas:
• To remove dirt, brush the fabric with a soft bristle brush. An occasional hosing may remove dust and some ingrained dirt.
• Never scrub the canvas fabric.
• Do not expose to petrol or oil.
• Immediately remove deposits of organic matter (such as soil, grass, bird droppings).
• Remove any mildew, as it appears, first by brushing, then by treating with diluted chlorine bleach (typically 1 part household grade bleach to 4 parts water to achieve 1% available chlorine). Allow to dry in the sun, then hose well to remove any residue.
• Do not use strong bleach such as ‘pool chlorine’.
• Do not use soaps, detergents, solvents, or other liquid cleaners.
By following these instructions, you can extend the life of your soft truck cap, maintain its aesthetic appeal, and enhance its functional performance.

Do you have a phone number I can call?
We currently do not offer phone support - instead, we offer prompt email support and live chat. We do this for a few reasons, which we're happy to share here. Firstly, when we used to offer phone support, these queries represented a relatively small number of enquiries but they could be quite time-consuming. Email support allows us to prioritise urgent queries, as well as to ensure we can get the right support person onto your enquiry promptly and provide the right information first time.
How long until I get my money back after I have returned an item?
We will issue your refund after we have received the item back into our warehouse.
N.B. Please follow the return instructions listed here on our website very carefully so as to avoid any delays in processing your refund.
