My brother purchased a Set of Roof latches from that Rob guy in Brisbane
ReplyDeleteWorks out of a Brisbane Machine Shop somewhere he said
These set of latches rusted the sh*t out of the front roof only after 2 months. ok so we live close to the beach but my brother had the car for 4 years and there was not a mark on it.
The front cover was a mess you could see how the aluminimum blocks was where the rust start from the rust was so heavy around the blocks and latches.
After my brother mention this to Rob
Rob said he would send him a new set of latches but Aluminum had not been treated for rust, but they never turn up
Now He calls Rob from my phone because he wont answer when my brother calls his phone
Nice post
ReplyDeleteDown here in South Australia that Rob guy stuck again
I purchased my Astra from a local Car yard and two weeks out of warranty the roof jammed could not open or close the roof manual or with the button.
When my hubby got the roof open thanks to Anthony and the team at ALNO the whole thing had just rusted out.
The rust was so bad it stop the roof from operating
I read somewhere in another post they are calling him Rusty Rob in Melbourne
Anthony Loads of Love to your team and thanks for all your help

There are a number of stories out there like that who is ever going to buy an Astra with a rusted roof that just does open
ReplyDeleteThis Rob Guy sounds like a complete nut Case
ReplyDeleteMy Astra Convertible is due for a service, but it's now outside of the warranty, so I don't have to go back to the original dealer anymore. Given that they're almost an hour away from where I live, I thought I'd see if I could find somewhere good nearby. Any suggestions for an Astra pro in Western Sydney? Somewhere around Penrith/St Mary's would be ideal, but I'll take what I can get.On similar lines, the hydraulics in the roof blew recently. This is the second time this has happened, and last time it cost me $5k at my dealership to get it all repaired – pump, lines, and latches all needed replacing. And the damage this time is on the opposite side of the car, so I suspect it's not covered by the repair warranty. Can anyone recommend a good place for that kind of work?Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHello allAre astra cabby roofs interchangeable as I have one with a manual latch but I have heard that most cabbies have auto latches. Can I put a roof on my cabby with an auto latch on or would I have to do some changes? Gina
ReplyDeleteHi,We too have an Astra '02 plated 2.2 convertible and for a while the roof would only open a few inches before beeping, but then when it got slightly warmer worked okay. So I thought it was to do with the outside temperature, as we did not get a car manual when we bought it I don't know what it says in it.Does anyone know where I can get a car manual for the Astra from apart from Holden?ThanksRob
