How to Install Roof Bars on the Opel Astra K

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra K - Years 2015-2022
Part: Roof rack bars

This video shows how to install roof bars on an Opel Astra K. You can find the original bars, as recommended by our YouTuber on it.Carmager.com, for £154.50, including delivery. However, non-original bars are available online for about half that price. The mounting point corresponds to a small hole located under the roof gutter at the front of the vehicle, and there is another on the opposite side. Once the holes are aligned, tighten the bolts that secure the bars at the top of the component, ensuring to follow the markings on the bars that indicate which bar goes at the front and which at the back, as well as which side goes to the right and which to the left. Use the provided screwdriver to tighten the screws. Close the covers and lock them. Job done.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
