What problem could the roof of the Fiat 500 present?
Years 2007-2022

Answer

When the roof of the Fiat 500 begins to struggle to open and close, it is a clear sign of problems in its operating mechanism. Going into detail, what could cause malfunctions is dirt accumulated in the guides and in the mechanism that moves it, or there is a defect or break in the arms. In the first case, it might even be enough to blow compressed air to eliminate the defect, while in the second case, you have to go to the body shop to have the aforementioned arms disassembled and evaluate the repair or replacement.
