It takes a lot of turns so be patient and the latches appear to stop moving a long time.
Vauxhall astra convertible roof wont open.
The astra convertible roof front edge is held closed by two metal latches.
When this happens the roof can no longer be opened or closed.
These latches are driven by a centrally mounted electric motor and a pair of sliders on a worm gear.
Open the roof latches using the supplied hex tool through the grommet in the centre of the front edge.
I am a vauxhall tech and have many many problems with the twin tops.
If not it has to go to main dealer or someone with tech 2 to manipulate the systems.
My wife has a 56 vauxhall astra twin top the roof closing cycle just does not complete with the jaws closing to lock the boot lid down which leaves the boot loose and will only open about 50mm.
Hi there my partner has a 2005 tigra convertible.
There are many cabriolet roof faults with the vauxhall astra h twin top due to the complexity of its three piece folding metal roof system.
Convertible roof is stuck open shut beeping alarm sound when driving warning the roof is not shut down and locked correctly boot lid catch does not release or you are unable to access boot area.
These sliders are made of plastic and are prone to sheering.
First of all it won t be something simple you could try disconnecting battery for 10 mins to see if at least you can get the boot working.
