Part: Key

Learn how to disassemble and replace the battery of the remote key for an Opel Meriva, as well as other models such as the Astra, Zafira, and Vectra. First, take your key in hand and pry at the slot in the middle to separate the remote into two parts; then access the battery. Remove it and replace it with a new one of the correct type (in this case, a 2032).
