How to repair the armrest of the Opel Vivaro in case of breakage?

Model: Vauxhall Vivaro MK 1 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Seat

The front and rear seats of the Opel Vivaro are equipped with an armrest, see video, very useful for passengers and the driver, especially if there are hours of travel to face. Whether you need to clean it or repair it, we need to remove it from its seat and here's how to do it: first, the knob must be removed, thanks to which we can rotate the armrest, so as to raise and lower it, then force is applied outwards and it is pulled out of its socket. As we mentioned earlier, now we are able to perform a specific repair, or if you want a hygienic treatment.

How to Repair the Key Spring of the Peugeot 207?

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
