.... did the drill come out for the torx bolts on the inner runners ?? 
ive had 3 very large people all try to undo the bastard bolt and no one can shift it, its broke a screw/socket driver in half ! and bent a pair of mole grips its that tight 
did you drill it out and get a new bolt from vauxhall ??

you make it sound like its put together dodgey and will fall apart easy, obviously this isnt the case as u cant evan get the "shitty torx screws/bolts" out.
drill them out and buy new bolts, be sure not to drill too big and take the thread out
