All you need to know about towbars for Vauxhall Astra

Vauxhall first introduced the Astra into their range in 1998. The Vauxhall Astra is available as a Convertible, Coupe, Estate, Hatchback, Saloon, or Van. So you know you are installing the right towbar on your Vauxhall Astra, we have looked at towing capacity, electrical kits, bumper cuts and more for each variation of Vauxhall Astra below.


Vauxhall Astra Convertible Towbars

The Vauxhall Astra Convertible was first released in 1998. To determine which variant of Vauxhall Astra you have, check your vehicle logbook. This will ensure you purchase the correct towbar.


Vauxhall Astra Convertible Nose Weight

Convertible models made between 1998 and 2006 have a minimum nose weight of 75 kg and a maximum nose weight of 75 kg.

What does nose weight mean?

Nose weight is the force on the towball when a caravan or trailer is attached. Every towbar for every vehicle will have a specific nose weight for that vehicle which can differ between the age of the vehicle and the variation of the model. It is crucial that you don’t exceed the nose weight set on the towbar as this is dangerous and can decrease stability when towing.


Vauxhall Astra Convertible Electric Kits

Electrical kits connect the electrics in your Convertible to the electrics on your trailer, bike rack or caravan so your lights are still visible.

We would always recommend having a dedicated electrics kit installed, where possible. This syncs with modern computer functions of your Convertible, like ABS and trailer stability, rather than just basic lighting.

Why is a dedicated kit important? Well, not only does it work with the specific features of your vehicle, but it also protects the warranty of your Convertible and works with any enhanced safety features you may have.

Of course, you can choose between a dedicated kit or a universal kit, and we do offer both, but a universal electrical kit can affect your manufacturer warranty and you might also need to install a bypass relay.
