Convertible roof repairs - Common Problems




Smart Roof Mechatronics – Roof Mechanical and electrical systems combined




Why use ALNO for your convertible roof repairs

Knowledge base second to none in Australia / New Zealand terms of getting convertible roofs moving again

Quality roof components – Australian made components come with 2-year warranty yet many of our components outlast the OEM design in many cases. In the case where there is a sacrificial component in terms of plastic gears we replace the design intent with the same design intent.

Low cost repair – where our customer just wants to get the roof moving again and sell the convertible we call the second-hand car dealer option. Just get the roof moving so we can sell it.





Automated Convertible roofs or more commonly called my transformer

Smart mechatronic systems where one needs a mechanical engineering degree to understand the programing the system or even just fault finding in terms of errors and coding.

One can burn through quite a bit of money guessing that can be your money or the customer’s money. Guessing if it the fuse, rely, gear set, motor gear or wire harness, roof controller, the program in the roof controller is nor compatible with your convertible because you have replaced it. The team at ALNO have seen some of the simplest cases of repair such as replacing a broken rear window turning into a costly exercise due to the guess factor.

 The team at ALNO to repair and maintain Astra Twin tops
  • We don't troll on Facebook
  • We don't stalk suppliers

It was over 8 years ago when Holden dealership mechanics were trained on the Astra Twin tops with many of them with different jobs today 

These days many mechanics try to fix these Astra Twin tops by pushing and pulling parts trying to get them to work and in turn they do more damage to other parts

In general terms each mechanical system only stops due to one failure it does not continue working and another parts fails.

So if you mechanic tells you you need to replace two parts or more then it is time to change you mechanic
