I have a Corsa -C and recently put a new brake shoes into the rear hubs.
This weekend I started getting a noise from the nearside drum during travel, which disappeared when I pulled the handbrake slightly.
I took the drum off to investigate and found that the shoe facing the front of the car had slipped off the cylinder at the top, it had moved toward the back plate not toward the drum. I put everything back as it's supposed to be and all was ok.
The same problem has appeared again today!!
Has anybody come across this before and is there anything I can do to stop the shoe moving away from the cylinder?
Cheers

Make sure the handbrake auto adjust is nice and tightly adjusted.
The springs should hold the shoe in place, sure you're not missing one somewhere? Or got the shoes round the wrong way?
 
I think everything is in the correct place, it's a mirror image of the off-side one, and thats behaving.
I'm thinking it could be the auto adjuster pushing it away from the cylinder.

did you lube the point where the shoes rest on the backplate, also check the handbrake lever where it pivots, as this sticks on corsas
