When selecting a supplier we would like you to consider the following 10 points.

1.  Our team have been replacing Roof latch sets for over ten years now we have kept more Astra convertible roofs moving than any other company ….. we did not start to make Astra roof parts in the last 6 months.

 2.  We Export Bertone Roof Components to Europe and Asia

3.  Our Company employees Australian University Qualified – Practicing Engineers – that fully understand the workings of the Astra Soft and Hard top Convertibles. We also employee tradespeople not just technicians

4.  95% of the Holden dealers in Australia have purchased from our company – Holden Dealerships call us and ask for Advice. – When they cannot get a roof working

 5.  Other operators have copied our designs yet they fail to understand how to keep a roof operation – Due to a lack of Engineering know how

6.    When your roof stops working we will get it working again – There has not been an Astra Convertible Roof that we could not fix.

7.   We don’t replace bearings your bearings remain your bearings – we don’t sell shipping containers
8.   We don’t change our company name every to weeks hiding from warranty claims …… Where roof latches have caused extensive rust to the roof frame

 9. When you call our Business we answer the phone …… we are not running away from any warranty claims and or legal action

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.

The biggest complement for any business is when another business or backyard machinist copies your product and sells it cheaper ….. But changing bearings that don’t need to be changed is excess expense that consumers don’t need to pay for……

Astra Bertone Convertible Roof Latch Bearings - Genuine parts are manufactured split bearings ….. Split bearings don’t crack they are manufactured that way …… Take a look at your bearings does it look like it has cracked in any direction under pressure or a force? ….. Or is it a uniform straight split 90 degrees to the folded / formed bearing sleeve that is formed in a manufacturing machine?

Furthermore these bearings rotate at less than 30 revolutions per minute on a flexible drive shaft which acts as a clutch when the latch jams ….. So I’m not sure where the force comes from to crack harden metal casing of the bearing

Either way you be the judge you could Google split bearing and check out the images ….. And you can Google cracked bearings and check out the images …..Then compare images against your bearings

Or you could go down to your local Holden dealer and ask to inspect the new genuine parts ….

At ALNO Product Services we don’t bullshit and charge you for changing bearings that don’t need to be changed…..

Please note once you turn down your threaded shaft to suit a commercial bearing and the latch jams ….. There is no going back to the original bearing…..

Astra Convertible Insurance claims

Funny how someone suggests on a blog site to claim latches breaking on an insurance claim.... then all of a sudden we have a rush of people .... some hit me from behind and it broke my roof latches .... or i came back to my car and it was like that....... please i need good karma ... too many bad people out there.

How silly are people out there ...... i don't think i have ever seen a mechanic in a workshop lift an Astra Convertible roof on there own it is always two people one each side ........ yet people sill believe that they can make insurance companies believe that there case is unique and yet everybody else when there latches break......

Someone has broken into my roof by trying to pull the roof back when it is so easy to cut the roof and lift the button .... please stop it the level of some peoples intelligence is so low ..... is it that there are to many people that should be in jail but they are walking around just ripping other people off.

The team at ALNO Product Services are more than happy to be expert witness in any insurance claims it is not as if we have not herd it all before......... 

Then there are the people that just want the quick fix to sell there car ...... so many times i feel I am talking to the owner of a new Astra and last month i was talking to the old owner of the same car.

So having said all that we are more than happy to to reduce the cost of our 2 year warranty for Astra convertible owners with broken roof latches from $450 to $300 +gst for the next month. if they mention this message or blog
