Vauxhall Opel Holden Astra Twin Top Convertible Roof Parcel Shelf Winglet Flap Motor Brass Gear

Symptoms of Fault
Typical symptoms of the failure of the gear within the parcel shelf winglet motor include; roof going down but taking a long time to come back up, perhaps going half way stopping for a period before closing down. When opening / closing roof parcel shelf winglets remain in the air and do not fold out / in. Alternatively winglets may function but slowly or erratically. Please check out our video to see the most common symptoms of this fault.
The Fault
The plastic gear within the parcel shelf winglet motor wears and strips causing roof faults.
It is common for the motor which operates the parcel shelf winglets to fail, within this motor is a plastic gear. The gear is made from a poor quality plastic which wears prematurely; stopping the motor from working and causing defects such as the roof not opening or closing- a result of the parcel shelf winglets sticking, not operating or only moving part way.
It is rare for any other components in this motor / actuator to fail. The outer worm gear in this module is made of metal and does not fail however this interacts with the plastic gear causing the plastic gears teeth to wear / strip and fail to function. A new motor can be purchased from the vehicle manufacturer, these typically retail for £350+, these are also fitted with the same plastic gear which will fail again. Our CNC Brass gear allows you to replace just the part that fails at a fraction of the cost and permanently fixes the fault. This product is also ideal to fit as a preventative measure as the plastic gear will wear in future and is likely to malfunction at an inconvenient time.
Our Solution
Install our precision engineered CNC Brass gear and restore your twin top roof operation.
Our Brass gear allows you to replace just the component that fails within the parcel shelf winglet motor without the need to replace the whole motor which would just fail again. Our Brass gear replaces the plastic gear that fails. We have matched the material of our gear to function correctly with the existing gear within the motor to ensure smooth life time use. Replacement motors are extremely expensive and are fitted with the same plastic gear which will just fail again. Install our gear at a fraction of the cost and enjoy using your roof again. Our gear is bench tested to 10,000+ motions with no measurable deterioration of our gear or the worm drive, also fitted and field tested ensuring this product means our high quality standards. Install is very simple with the aid of our video and pictorial instructions and the help of our technical team if required.
This is a CNC machined part. We recommend replacing both gears left and right parcel shelf motors at the same time.

Fitted the cogs yesterday, on my 2010 Opel Astra. Worked perfectly and my roof closes again. All 3 Opel garages I contacted told me this problem could cost thousands to fix. Thanks to X8R it cost less than 100

Do you know anything about the clutch on the parcel shelf

[@teodoraradosavljevic3819]

Hey can you tell what is the grease you're supposed to use

Hi. I have Astra h convertible 1.6 Would doing this help with a roof that stops when I'm trying to close it? I have had a problem in the past when the driver side winglet wouldn't come out when trying to put the roof down. After waiting a few minutes and pressing what I think is a reset button it worked. Only now the roof wouldn't close. My roof is thankfully now in the closed position. I had to call RAC to get roof back up. He done something with the hydraulic system..we lifted the roof up to nearly closing position he then put the hydraulic system back on and I was able to close it fully using the close button inside the car. Side arms inside roof clicked into place and roof all correctly locked up. No other electrical faults. Many thanks for any help.

Hi there, it seems like it could be down to the brass cogs. We have it listed as one of the symptoms. Check out the listing here: x8r.co.uk/vauxhall-holden-opel-astra-twintop-roof-parcel-shelf-winglet-flap-motor-brass-gears-cnc.html

[@Supposedlyimrightwingnow]

@@X8RLtdUK thanks for your reply. I will order the parts and give it a go. Anything better than paying the hundreds of pounds main dealers are after. What grease would you recommend for the cogs please?
