Video tutorial

In this video, we see how to open the rear trunk of a Fiat Punto that cannot be opened with the remote control from the outside. We need to enter the car, pull down the rear seats, and slide into the trunk.

As the YouTuber rightly points out, it cannot be seen, but there is a lever on the left of the lock - we must feel around for it. It is similar to the lever found at the front of the car to open the hood, which must be held down until it opens completely, and then push the trunk upwards.

Remember that we will need to have the lock checked for a permanent repair.
