Astra Convertible Roof

If you have problem with your Astra convertible roof opening and closing the best bet is to get a professional to look at.

The team at ALNO Product Services have Professional Mechanics working across Australia and New Zealand including full trained Holden Dealerships

When fitting a set of latches there is a risk of hydraulic failure, furthermore if latches are not fitted correctly there is a real possibility of failure of the flexible drive.

Over the past year the team at ALNO Product Services have serviced over 75 Convertible roofs.

Why risk taking advice from people on a blog  ..... if things go wrong who will you turn to.

There has not been an Astra Bertone Convertible that the team at ANO Product Services has not been able to fix.

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. One could argue that the parts fitted were ok ...... when fitted ......or maybe it was the way the parts had been fitted who is to say?

One thing is sure there was one unhappy customer .... buy all reports the solution did not fit the problem for three months the customer struggled with closing the roof and at some stages was not sure if the roof was going to break the the windscreen.

At the end of the day if you enjoy the feeling of driving in an open roof and you love your car which one day will be a collectable item.

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…..

ALNO Product Services have over 9 years of assisting Astra Bertone Convertible owners get there roofs moving again

Astra Convertible Roof

ALNO Product Services are now supplying Qualified Mechanics across Australia with modified roof latches for the Holden Astra Convertible.

Broken Roof latches on your Astra Convertible is a common issue across the range of Astra convertibles. One can assume that the latches have been design to fail as failure of these latches protects the hydraulic system from failure. If the hydraulic system fails the cost of replacing / overhauling it is out weighted by the cost of replacing the roof latch, in terms of labor alone.

We have also had one case where a do it your self or unqualified mechanic has modified the latch and the hydraulic system has failed when the roof was opening, the hydraulic system need to be fully overhauled.

Having repaired over 17 latches over the past year.

 ALNO Product Services have developed a list of reputable mechanics across Australia that the end user / customer have been more than happy with regard to the service they provide.

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

Some Astra owners have been having issues with faulty sensors.

How do you know if you have a faulty sensor?

In most cases the roof on your Astra your roof dose not open it just beeps at you or in other cases the roof is closed and does not open.
