did you know about this
taken from another post on here
OK I can see that no one here has figured this out so here goes the guide from polish Vectra Club (with best regards
):
Repairing the clunking door stay without buying new one - and without taking it out.
1. Undo the screw/bolt on the body and move the lever out.
2. Pull the lever out to full length
3. Rotate the lever 180 degrees (so the curly cuts will be facing the other way). Yes, you need to apply a little force.
4. Now undo two nuts from the door side. Dont worry about the bolts - they are securely melted with the stay.
5. Turn the whole stay once again 180 degrees. It will take about 1 minute to do it right.
6. Place the bolts in holes in the doors, secure with bolts, secure the lever with the body using last bolt and voila!
Basically the reason for clunking is that one of the rolls gets worn out, and by rotating the lever 180 degrees you're making the other one do the hard work. Of course, eventually both rolls will be worn out and then you will need to replace the door stay with new one. But this will take about 8 years
(I had to rotate the thing after 4 years, so I suppose Im fine for the next 4 years).
Good luck with that and sorry for my english - apparently it got more rusty during last 5 years than I thought.
