Cayman specialise in solving Vauxhall soft top and Vauxhall Twin Top convertible roof repairs

The Vauxhall Astra G soft top came to the cabriolet market in 2001 and was replaced by its’ successor the Vauxhall Astra Twin Top in Spring 2006. The fabric folding roof system offers owners a stylish and affordable four seater convertible in its class, with the added benefit of a fair sized boot for luggage.
The hydraulic soft top roof system can be operated remotely – ahead of some of its rivals at the time that the roof could be raised or lowered without even being in the vehicle. The roof itself is a three-layer affair and the rear window glass is heated and scratch-resistant. An option extra was the must-have windbreaker (that slots behind the front seats to keep interior buffeting to a minimum at speed) which slots neatly away on rails when not needed.
Parts for these vehicles are becoming scarce, however we do have options for repairs, offering refurbished and aftermarket components.
Like all soft top cabriolets they have their faults and in particular, lack of attention to care and maintenance can lead to water ingress and the usual electrical and mechanical faults caused by water damage on the operational roof system.
