Astra Convertible Roof Problems

When you find your convertible Astra’s roof is failing to work properly or isn’t moving then you have a real decision to make in how you are going to go about fixing it. 

For a truly reliable solution you have two options, ask the team at Holden and pay an exorbitant amount or let us at ALNO Product Services help you get it working.

Our team at ALNO have been serving Astra drivers for over 10 years.  We can get your convertible roof moving and in great working order. 

You’ll be surprised to know that a lot of our Astra parts revenue actually comes from Holden or GM branches from New Zealand, Europe and Australia-wide.  And it is often the case that our parts are half the price offered by the big dealers. 

Getting a repair for your roof system be it latch, hose or simply oil is vital in the maintenance of your Astra.  Don’t rely on mechanics with limited experience in repairing systems like these.  You costs will only increase if an untested solution or parts are placed experimentally on the system. 

Some problems we’ve solved in the past include roof parts:

·        Stick to the windscreen

·        Have sprayed oil everywhere

·        With the latch bearings incorrectly replaced

·        Roofs that stop halfway

·        Roofs that don't make any alert noises when you push to open or close the roof

·        Roof rusting due to the latches

·        Latches that have been bolted together

·        That need a complete replacement

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
