just a quickie...

how do you get the rear door cards off a mk3 astra? need to swap mine for the GSi ones i got.

[DaveB]

1 torx right at the back (lean seats forwards to find it) its down a hole

Then 1 more torx right at the bottom (may need to tip rear seats forward).

Then just pull..... best of luck

[JohnnyDMonic]

is torx that one that looks like phillips only with 6 bits, not 4?

[OllyHewitt]

[JohnnyDMonic]

- 4 phillips screws along bottom of doors
- 2 under/ in the handle
- remove the circlip around the window winder
- the just pull gently and it will pop off

do you by any chance write haynes manuals? lmao

I read this last night so I thought i'd have a go. I was like - grrrrrrrrr get offffffffff you little b*stard hrrrrrrrrrrrr owww grrrr

Am i missing something? lol

[OllyHewitt]

does that mean you've sorted it...???

you need a little flat bladed screwdriver and hold it against the back of the winder itself - and push the screwdriver out away from the handle end itself!

be careful not to lose this else your winder will no longer stay on... and it does ping off far if you dont cover it with your hand!

[PaulF]

Don't you have a screw behind the opening for the leccy window control (passenger side) or the electric mirror control (drivers side)?

[OllyHewitt]

well remembered

that one aswell

[jungleistmassiv]

NAH NAH NAH place feet either side of doorcard, wedge screwdriver in between doorcard and body work, then pull it like fcuk. Mind out for the little plastic clips, they tend to fly off all over the place lmao

[JohnnyDMonic]

All sorted now. Got the rears in. Had a bit of a laugh. I got the 2 screws out and it wasn't moving anywhere. So after a while of pansying around trying to gently remove it, I gave up and gave it a fookin mahoosive heave and the bugger came off no probs I did stab myself in the hand with a screwdriver trying to get one of those white plastic clips out of the bodywork though!

Electric window bits should be arriving tomorrow so the fronts will be done soon (ish)!
