How to replace the rubber gasket at the base of the Opel Astra G antenna.

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antenna

In this video, we see how it is possible to replace the rubber seal at the base of the antenna in the Opel Astra G version. In fact, water can pass through this seal, which thins over time, and stain the interior ceiling of the car. We can easily find this seal, for example on eBay with the code 125906117893, where they will send you two for 4.26 euros. Unfortunately, shipping costs 8.20 euros because they have to come from the United Kingdom. If you are not in a hurry, AliExpress will send you one for 1.04 euros + 0.60 euros shipping fee, with the code 1005003912188902, but it may take up to 90 days for delivery. Removing the damaged seal is easy; just remove it, even in small pieces with tweezers, but be careful not to scratch the paint. Then, clean everything around the antenna before inserting the new seal, which should be gently inserted and then pushed firmly until it is completely fitted under the base of the antenna. Make sure there are no gaps between the rubber and the body of the car.

How to Replace Shock Absorbers on Opel Zafira 2008

When driving, your shock absorbers are always under stress. After covering many miles, you may notice that the ride is no longer as safe and smooth as it once was. Don't worry, you only need a bit of experience to replace them. Obtain the new part with or without the spring already fitted. If you want to replace the spring, seek help from an expert. Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel, disconnect the electrical connector and the brake line. Unscrew the bolts above the brakes and also the one at the base of the spring. Open the bonnet and remove the wipers. Create space to access the nut above the shock absorber, unscrew it while holding the part to be replaced to prevent it from falling. Refit everything, and repeat on the other side.
