Astra Convertible Roof Repairs

If you have problem with your Astra convertible roof opening and closing:

If so the best bet is to get a professional to look at.

The team at ALNO Product Services have a list of Professional Mechanics working across Australia and New Zealand.
Many of these mechanics are fully trained Ex-Holden Dealership employees.
In the cases where you are remote and there are not a lot of mechanics around the team at ALNO can assist in identifying what the problem is with your Astra roof over the phone.

Please note we are more than happy to assist our customers but not time wasters
So people call up wanting infomation oin what is wrong with there Astra then purchase chinese manufactured hose or latches sets
Then call back when they cannot get the roof working.
When fitting a set of latches there is a risk of hydraulic failure.
Furthermore if latches are not fitted correctly there is a real possibility of failure 
In the flexible drives or roof jaming.
One other peice of advice dont remove the Tyrco Relay before talking to us.
As they are not manufactured any longer and are quite difficult to get your hands on. 

Over the past six years the team at ALNO Product Services have serviced over
 75 Convertible roofs each year.


Why risk taking advice from people on a blog  ..... if things go wrong who will you turn to.

There has not been an Astra Bertone Convertible that the team at ANO Product Services
 has not been able to fix.

We have seen many weird and wonderful inventions the latest failure is a Queensland failure.
Aluminum parts machined for latches .....  fitted for two days
 then convertible roof started slamming into the windscreen.

One could argue that the parts fitted were ok ...... when fitted ......
or maybe it was the way the parts had been fitted who is to say?

One thing is sure there was one unhappy customer .... buy all reports
the solution did not fit the problem for three months the customer struggled
 with closing the roof and at some stages was not sure
if the roof was going to break the the windscreen.

At the end of the day if you enjoy the feeling of driving in an open roof and you love your car which one day will be a collectable item.


Then let the team at ALNO Product Services take care of your roof

Astra Roof Hose

Filling your Astra convertible roof with non genuine Holden Astra Convertible Roof Oil can cause the roof pump motor to wear out sooner.

In some cases the failure occurs 70% faster comparison to systems that have been filled with Genuine oil


A hose blowing in the hydraulic roof system generally occurs due to air getting into the system, in many cases a blown hose can be replaced and then in a couple of weeks another hose blows.

In these cases the hose that has the air leak has not been replace but to identify the hose with the leak at the time of replacing the first hose can be a black art.

There are ten hoses in the Astra convertible Bertone roof where are this point we have only ever replaced six hoes the wear out, get crimped of blow the swagged fitting.

Having said that we have replaced set of ten hoses only when the customer has asked to replace the complete set.

What are the options with regard to replacing the Hydraulic hose?

There are a number of hoses in the market place the first is the cheapest is priced around $30 Australian these hose are 2nd hand many have been working on convertible roofs from 8 - 10 years.

After a period these hoses become hard and in flexible and in turn blow from there swagged fittings

The second option is a Chinese product sold for around $80 Australian these hoses last for a period 3 - 6 months from all reports they seem to more flexible than the 2nd hand hoses yet the are not as old and are yet to last a period longer the 2 years

The third option is an Australian made hose price around $600 manufactured in Australian with high pressure hose and stainless steel fittings. This option seems to be the choice of the majority of the Astra Convertible Owners

The final option is to purchase genuine hose and it is best to get pricing from your local Holden Dealer

Planning to buy an Astra Convertible with a broken Roof

Planning to buy an Astra Convertible with a broken Roof

Generally fixing an Astra roof can be quite cost effective in most cases, yet in other cases we mechanics or back yard operators have touch pull or push parts of the roof to get them moving and have failed or caused more damage.



Other factors to consider in terms of how long the roof will last once it has been repaired can come down to :

  • The number of previous owners of the car, when there is a new owner then the convertible roof gets a complete work out for the next six months or until winter arrives
  • Past maintenance have the replacement parts been fully engineering or patched back together. We have seen instances of the split bearing being replaced with roller bearing which has resulted in the more physical force to open and close the latches. Furthermore we have seen many cases of corrosion or rust where steel and Aluminum have been bonded together without treating raw material post machining. We have seen extensive rust in the front of the roof structure in which a certifying engineer put down to untreated Aluminum in a set off roof latches  
     
  • The number of time the roof has been open in total as any or ever mechanical system wears or or cheaper parts are design to be replaced
  • Intervals between roof opens as in some cases number of times the roof has been known to effect the reliability of the roof system that not enough opening and to many opening can effect the ongoing functionally of the Astra convertible roof system
     






In many cases replacing the latches does not always fix your convertible roof in choosing a parts supplier what is important to you cheap imported parts or a supplier that offers  

The team at ALNO offer a professional service for more information for your Astra Convertible
