Removing the Door Handle

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Handle

As shown in the video guide, removing the door handle is an extremely simple and quick task.
The only tools required are a flat screwdriver to remove the protective cap and a long Torx screwdriver to unscrew the main retaining screw of the handle. Access this through the hole on the door's strike plate, then free the fixed part of the handle and continue by disengaging the rest of the handle from the door.

This procedure applies to the door of the Opel Astra J but is applicable to other cars.

This guide shows you how to remove and replace the rear wiper blade on a Citroen C3. Grasp the rear wiper blade with your hands, gently pull the rubber from the moving blade (without breaking it), and slide it off the arm on the left. Fit the new wiper rubber onto the arm (if the rubber is original, you may need to adjust the length by cutting it as shown). Finally, lower the wiper arm onto the rear window and test the new blade by activating the rear wiper. It is always preferable to use original parts for better durability and quality.
