How to replace the key shell of an Opel car

Model: Vauxhall Opel Various
Part: Key

Let's see how to replace the plastic part of an Opel key: it is a simple key, without a remote control. We can find the replacement, for example, on Temu.com with the code 601099587807680 at the price of 2.92 euros. Delivery is free for purchases of at least 20 euros of material. We need to remove the neutral key from the plastic cover, using a small spatula with an "L" profile to help us separate the two halves: this will allow us to insert our key into the shell, after having done the same operation on our key with the damaged shell. We put the key of our car and the button battery in the new shell and close it. Operation completed.
