Is the bonnet of your car stuck and won't open? Here's how to open the front bonnet of a Fiat Punto. Remove the central black plastic cover (pry it off to detach the plastic clips).

Use a socket wrench to unscrew the lock pins located inside the metal of the bonnet (insert the extension of the wrench into the holes in the structure). Once the lock is free from any pins, you can open the bonnet.

Replace the faulty lock or its release cable. Test the lock's proper functioning after installation.
