Why does the Fiat 500 roof struggle to open?
Years 2007-2022

Answer

The malfunction of the Fiat 500 electric soft top is a rather frequent problem. Among the main causes we find a series of errors in the respective control unit, which can first of all be reset and, in the worst cases, completely replaced. In addition to this, the problem could be caused by the bad condition of both the various elements of the mechanism and of the actuator, which can be solved in this case with a complete maintenance of both. In case of doubt, please go to our trusted workshop.
