TG Replacement Auto-Tilt Finial – Bronze Finish Frequently Asked Questions
What is an auto-tilt finial and why might I need this replacement?
The auto-tilt finial is the top cap for certain cantilever umbrellas that allows the canopy to tilt and control movement via a built-in push-button or gear mechanism. Over time the finial may wear, become loose, or lose its finish—this replacement restores full function and a coordinated look.
Which umbrellas is this replacement compatible with?
This bronze-finish finial is designed for compatible Treasure Garden cantilever umbrellas that use the auto-tilt mechanism. Confirm your umbrella model and finial type (auto-tilt vs fixed) before ordering.
What is included and what finish is applied?
The kit includes one replacement auto-tilt finial in a bronze powder-coat finish to match other bronze hardware on your umbrella. No additional parts (springs, gear sets) are included unless listed explicitly.
How do I install the replacement auto-tilt finial?
Close and secure the umbrella canopy, remove the existing finial by releasing the tilt lock, then align the replacement finial and install until it clicks or locks into place. Test the tilt mechanism and rotation to verify proper operation.
Will replacing the finial affect my umbrella’s warranty or function?
If the replacement is the correct model and installed per instruction, warranty should remain intact. Using incorrect or mismatched components may impair function (tilt/rotate) or void manufacturer warranty.
Any tips for care and maintenance of this finial?
Inspect the finial periodically for looseness or corrosion. Clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh chemicals. During off-season or storms, ensure the umbrella is closed, secured, and not left tilted or open in wind to avoid excess strain on the finial mechanism.
