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

Know the difference: Power Steering vs. Roof Hydraulic Oil

Roof Hydraulic Oil
Made especially for convertible roofs.  The consistency of the fluid is much thinner than the regular hydraulic fluid and it is more suitable for lower temperatures, as opposed to power steering fluid.  The oil should also be able to withstand the colder temperatures it will be exposed to.

Power Steering Oil
The working fluid is still a means for pressure to be transmitted however power steering systems operate much closer to the engine and their rotary vane pumps reach much higher temperatures.

Although they’re both still hydraulic fluids with similar properties using any oil other than the one intended for a specific purpose is dangerous and can lead to failure.  Furthermore, you’re jeopardising the lifespan of your vehicle components.  Don’t be careless and use the right oil.


ALNO Hydraulic Oil is formulated with your roof hose in mind, you can buy it online.
