The safety limiter for the rear door hinge stop strap of the Fiat Panda.

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we discuss the safety limiter for the rear door's stop strap of the Fiat Panda MK2. This is a little-known but very important component that prevents the rear door from opening beyond a certain angle, avoiding damage to the hinges or the bodywork, such as in the case of strong winds slamming the door, or accidental impacts with nearby objects or people in tight parking spaces. It is integrated into the stop strap mechanism, fixed between the door and the frame. We can find this part, for example, on Amazon with the code B0C1GXKYX9 at a price of 36.19 euros plus 6.17 euros for shipping.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
