Stratco Outback Sunroof Review

esanto1 · Mar 26, 2019 6:32 pm

Hi,

Has anyone had a Stratco Outback Sunroof installed recently or have one already? Interested to know how reliable they are. Called SolarGuard in Sydney for a quote and they advised that they were going to change blade motors tomorrow on one that was about 4 years old. Cost is about 3k for this but was told it’s an older model motor.

Are louvred roofs reliable? Sounds like they’re expensive to fix when they break.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

We have just had one put in but it’s not a stratco, the brand we got was an eclipse opening roof.

I had one installed with the rain sensor. 3 wired connection kept the rain sensor constantly powered and shorted out the electronics, Replacemrht is going to cost $600 just for the power module and new rain sensor. Unit lasted less than 5 years stratco don’t want to know about it and the company that made supplies the power supply is aware of the fault but want to charge you for a new set up!

I've had direct and extremely unpleasant dealings with Stratco patios. It is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Utterly incompetent, expensive, poor quality product and no idea on how to run a business.
I strongly recommend you find another business to supply your sunroof.
