Replacing Astra Roof Hose

A common problem with the TS Astra Convertible is Replacing a roof hose along with roof oil.

The original roof hose last around 10 years where one or two hoses generally need replacing.

There a ten hose in the Astra convertibles where only six hoses that fail or need to be replaced. Replacing all ten hoses is basically a waste of money and the only time the team at ALNo have replace Astra convertible Hydraluic hoses is when the client has asked for ten hoses to be relaced.



The best way to check the health of an Astra convertible roof is by timing the roof to open and close. A roof starting to taken longer to either open or close is the first sign that components in the mechanical system will soon need to be replaced
