Over the past 9 or so years ALNO Product Services have been developing products that enhance the performance of the Astra Convertible Roof
We have seen roof trimmers that bolt latches together that work for a
period of time ..... and the latches jam so the roof cannot be opened ..... that is without
structural damage to the roof in many cases.
Then we had brass latches
from Canberra we are yet to see an Astra Convertible with these parts
functioning. Then in April this year we had a new player enter the
market place with Chinese Aluminum parts from Brisbane.
For each of the past 3 years Alno Product Services have constancy assisted over 75 Astra Bertone convertible owners get there roof moving again, this year it has happened earlier than any previous years.
In assisting these Astra convertible owners we have see an increase in the cheap Chinese manufactured latches being sold East of Brisbane. Latches assembled or fitted in Australia does not make the latches manufactured in Australia
As for fitted by trade qualified technicians I have searched all of the trade listings in each state and cannot find a trade qualification for a trade technician that is related to fitting of the Astra Bertone Convertible parts...... This qualification does not exist! ......
Do hope someone can tell me which TAFE college i can get this qualification.
In terms of a life time structural replacement warranty this warranty obviously does not include replacement of bearings our team have seen a number of these latches in recent months that require bearing replacement due to binding of poor quality Chinese materials. Hence the words "life time structural replacement warranty" Structurally these latches are fine yet mechanically they are a complete failure.
To Quote Wikipedia with regard to Structural Engineering
" Structural engineering is usually considered a specialty within civil engineering,"
We must give credit where credit is due and this supplier of Astra Roof Chinese Latches have stopped butchering the split bearings and lead screws. Yet replacing these bearing did not and does not stop these latches from Jamming or binding.
Our team manufactures on the central coast and all of our customers are welcome to come and check our manufacturing process.
Money is just to hard to come by these days so why waste it on solution that just don't last
