How to replace the key shell of an Opel car

Model: Vauxhall Opel Various
Part: Key

Video tutorial

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.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
