  • New Trafic/Vivaro handles – how do you remove the handles?

    Has anyone got any tips for door handle removal on the new versions of these vans? The previous version was very easy but they seem to have made the new ones more tricky to remove..

    Sorry Jon,

    Vauxhall/Opel designers really didn’t thought about wrappers this time 🙁 Apparently they are some new European safety regulations and handles are not coming off !!!! In next few years we can expect that in few other manufacturers 🙁

    Saying that, they are coming off but not as easy and serious removal skills are needed. rear door is the easiest as the access to the back is not bad, but good luck with sliding door and front doors 🙂 everything and I mean everything need to come off !!! Including the glass window!!!

    They are not easy to wrap without taking them off either as it is a small recess around the handle which makes it just more difficult.

    To all wrappers – next time you need to quote a job on new vivaros bare in mind all the above 🙂
