Vectra/Calibra cars
Removal
Unhook the triangular cover where the mirror is attached.
Use a wide spatula to lift and remove the door handle trim.
In Vectra cars: unscrew seven screws (see arrows in fig.) with cross slot.
For Calibra vehicles: remove six screws.
Unfasten the plastic button. To do this, insert the screwdriver along the arrow between the door trim and the door pocket. Slightly press the plastic hook back (to the back of the door), while simultaneously pulling the door trim away.
Pull the door button up. Use a narrow screwdriver to disconnect the button and remove the handle.
Remove the window lift handle (if any). To do this, use the Opel KM-317 tool to press the wire clamp, as shown in the figure. You can also use the Hazet 799 collet. If none of these tools are available, the clamp can be pressed by turning it in the direction of the arrow using a narrow screwdriver.
Remove the window lift handle from the shaft. If the clip was completely removed from the handle during removal, press it into its groove.
Remove the plastic washer.
Unfasten and remove the door trim. To do this, pull the door trim away from the door frame in the area of the plastic buttons shown in the figure. The front door trim in Vectra cars is secured with nine buttons, and in Calibra cars (as well as rear trim in Vectra cars) - twelve.
Disconnect the power mirror connector (if equipped) from the front door frame.
Remove the trim. Disconnect the connector from the speaker (if any).

Carefully remove the sealing film from the door.
If necessary, move the interior door handle forward and out of the door. Bend the handle down and disconnect it from the rod.
Installation
If the interior handle has been removed, connect it to the rod and insert it into the door.
Carefully stick the sealing film to the door. The film serves to isolate the interior from water and drafts. Therefore, it must be glued evenly, without folds. Seal torn areas with adhesive tape.
Put on the door trim, connect the connectors of the electric mirror and speaker (if available).
Align the trim on the door and secure with buttons.
For vehicles with manual windows: Slide the plastic washer onto the handle shaft with the side with the protrusion.
Place the handle on the window lifter shaft and press it with your thumb; the spring should enter the groove of the axle. When the window is closed, the handle should be directed downwards. Otherwise, slightly press the trim and correct the position of the plastic washer.
Screw in six or seven screws to secure the trim.
Place the door knob onto the rod and rotate it so that it can be pressed flush with the bottom edge of the trim. Secure the knob.
Secure the triangular mirror cover.
Snap the interior door handle cover into place.
