Does anyone have a how to guide or some pics on how to do this. Its not the silver handle, its the plastic grab handle with the electric window switches in. I have ordered one from vauxhall only £8 to which i thought was good but have no idea how to fit this.

Any Help

Lol, carm your passions :'( People aren't exactly going to be willing to help if you go on like that. Fortunantly for you I'm in a good mood today as it's only 5 days till I'm off to the Nurburgring so I'll help ;)

Removing the handle it's very easy to do. Get a small screwdriver and prise the electric window switch up and disconnect the wiring plug. If you have electric mirrors do the same with the controls for that.
Now the handle come off in two pieces, the top cover, and the back that's actually screwed into the door itself. Get the screwdriver and from the bottom of the handle where it meet the armrest prise the cover off. It should just pop out off place and you just slide it over the top of the silver door handle. With that removed you'll see the torx screws that hold the back half in place. Just remove them and jobs a good un.

Either that or get off your ass and stop complaining and go and get a Haynes manual and you'll not need to ask on this ****ing waste of time forum :roll:
