Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Antenna
Operation: How to replace the rubber gasket at the base of the Opel Astra G 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 do I unlock the fuel filler flap of the Opel Meriva B?

To be able to unlock the fuel filler flap of the Opel Meriva B when it is locked, you need to have an object that acts as a lever to be able to move the inner wheel arch cover. By inserting your hand inside, you will need to pull the latch that blocks the door from the inside, as shown in the video. The fuel flap can be opened by pulling the latch from the inside. The problem depends on the motor of the mechanism: by going to the dealership it will be possible to replace the entire piece, which will be under warranty for two years and will allow you to refuel in peace.
