View Full Version : Any actual Corsa owners on here?
Need to know how the rear window rubbers and the roof trim are held on, anyone know?
Roof trims clip on, rear side windows are actually bonded in.

That I know, but the rubber trim for the windows, how is that held in and what direction do I need to take the roof trim to remove it without breaking the clips?

The rubber trims come out still attached to the glass when you cut the glass out of the car.
Roof trim, work from rear forward IIRC?
So pull it back the way so?
As for the rubber, feck that. How am I gonna paint round that?

How you mean "pull it back the way so?" ???
Paint around the window seal with still attached to the car? Mask it off its piece of pish.
Removing the roof trim, just slide them back over the bootlid?

Pass lol cant remember, the clips are metal tho (same clips as interior/exterior GM window seals) so they wont break.
I wouldn't mind but I scrapped a Corsa recently and never thought to check!

Ive had loads of Corsa B's (mostly Cat C/D's) so kinda know random crap like this lol
I've taken to them more so than the Novas as you can still buy Corsas and parts for them! FFS they're worth more here now as well, €500 for a GSi Corsa kit anyone?

Its a lot easier to get bits for them for next to nothing aswell Dod, on the plus side there are some properly trick parts avaliable for Corsa's aswell compared to Nova's!!
What I found odd is, its only within the last 8 to 12 months FG doors for Corsa C's have become avaliable lol theyve been around since the Y reg (2001?)
Yeah but as there has been so many Novas and Corsa Bs, the C has been over looked but over here Novas are like Hens teeth and Corsas are going the same way. I'm gonna have start sourcing stuff from you lot!
corsa c prices have dropped alot in the last 12 months. i know of 2 cat c ones with very light frontal, for 800 each.

If i were you id start buying cheap cheap Sport's/GSi's from here & breaking them over in Ireland, weld a cage into a couple of Corsa shell's & then sell them on aswell ;)

£250 my sister paid for her 1.0 12v Comfort C with 38k miles & 2 owners from British Car Auctions in Walsall. There worth fook all these days.
Heres one for you, there was only ever 2 GSi Corsa Bs sold in Ireland!!
As for Cheap Sports and GSis, how much could they be got for?
Roof trims just unclip straight up, removed mine when i repainted it
As for the side windows, sorry, i left my glass in, plis a more-door is different :thumb:

Sport 1.6's about £450 to £700
GSi's about £1k
Are you serious Mike? Can you show me some examples etc? I'd get €500 for an X16XE Plant!
Kissy Davd, you mean I just prise them straight up?
thats what i did, get a flat blade screwdriver under the front to get it started then they just pull off with your hands, their onl clipped on in the middle so they just pull right off the lip, dont be afraid to pull them, their alot stronger than nova ones
These are "sold" Corsa Sports on eBay within the last 28 days.
Note the prices on the buy it now ones (http://completed.shop.ebay.co.uk/Cars-Motorcycles-Vehicles-/9800/i.html?rt=nc&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=vauxhall%20corsa%20sport&_dmpt=Automobiles_UK&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283&_rdc=1)
Cheers Dave, Mike, I'll take a look now.
Look interesting, only problem is it'd be a shame to break good ones and realisticially I'd need MOT'd ones to get them home.
Food for thought.
