ive managed to put the motor and switch in so it all works
the only problem is ive used a vectra surround and it doesnt quite sit properly on the headlining. What did anyone else use? ive got an idea of using one out of a mk3 astra or corsa b gsi?

anyone any ideas?

I would guess you're best off with a corsa b one. Or maybe a tigra perhaps??

theres no part number for the corsa b item and to order the mk3 astra 1 you need a trim code the vectra one fits but you need to trim the back lip up to the size of the corsa one and cut the two rear rear clip mounts down will post a pic of an old one i did what was dis-coloured. the vectra item is around £4 new from vx

the bit's in the red circles are what i cut away the rear lip was cut down to the same size as the lip on the corsa one. after i did this it fitted with a small gap of 1-2 mm on the sloping part of the roof what shows a bit of light when dark so i taped the head lining to the motor cover where the arrows are in the pic with some gaffer tape cut down to size

Edit.... i trimed about 17-18mm off either side of the rear lip.
