Issues with your Astra soft top roof?

When you find your convertible Astra soft top 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.  

Here isa list of tips to solving convertible roof problems

Reasons for making the choice

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.

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.  

Do your research

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. 

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

Go with your gut instinct

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.

Astra Hose Blown

Today Hydra-link franchise called ask / requesting help for another Astra convertible that had a blown hose.

Then after replacing the hose that roof did not work?

or function how it was designed

" We just want to send this customer to another mechanic to fix the problem,  ?"

" We don't do mechanical repairs " 

" Do you know anyone in our area that can help "

- The Hydra-link supplier stated

-------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure but when i went to University Hydraulics was under the Mechanical Engineering stream

along with mechanics.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our responses is that anyone can fix these cars the Astra Bertone Convertible roofs with the right advice.

From what we are currently lead to believe or all the evidence suggests that the car had a blown hose and that hose has been repaired 

Yet through the installation of the hose additional damage has been caused to the car / roof and now the roof does not function any longer.

If you have a blown hose and you replace that hose that is blown and nothing else changes through changing the single hose

The problem is solved .....

The issue here is with so many Pirtek, Hydra-link and Hose Doctors across the country that know how to fix all the hydraulic systems in factories or on manufacturing equipment quite well as they work on them most days.

When it comes to specialist systems I would not want part timers working on my car as when things go wrong these guys just push you off to some else.

 Over the past 6 months ALNO Product Services has assisted 39 Astra Convertible roof owners repair hose systems in the car with the right advice.

Not to mention customers in Europe, the UK and New Zealand across 4 different languages 

95% of these Astra Convertible owners have repaired these hoses themselves including a single mother of 3 in Adelaide region and a retired 75 year old man from Perth suburbs 

Don't let part timers replace one end of your hose to find out the other end blows two weeks latter.
