Hi all, have Vauxhall Omega Elite 1999 and need to take off rear door panel to get at window mechanism (only purchased the car Friday and I was made aware of it). I have removed the six obvious screws around the panel but now I'm stuck and so is the window, open. your help would be much appreciated, have ordered a Haynes Manual but not here yet and I can't close the window, thanks for your time

I can't think exactly how the rear comes off. This is for the front http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90556.0 IIRC the rear isn't too different

Facelift or Prefacelift?

If facelift there's a screw behind the ashtray, and another under a grommet in the bottom of the handle

If it's prefacelift, then I can't help as I've never removed one

Pull (carefully, though prepare to snap a lug) the rubber part of the door grab handle, you'll find a screw in there, if memory serves. Also ping out the 'scallop' behind the door handle (quite easy, and pretty hard to break/snap it) and there's another there. The grab handle has to come off before the rest of the door card does. If there are any I#'ve forgotten it's just a case of seeing where the handle is 'sticking' and finding a screw in that location

Facelifts are totally different then by the sounds of it

Fair few differences, yeah. Slightly more creaking noises from the PFL doorcards and handles, too, which Vauxhall foolishly deleted when they facelifted the cars
