How to Replace the Lock Cylinder of a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 141, MK 1 - Years 1980-2003
Part: Door lock

Before you start, you need to open the door of your Fiat Panda. Begin by fully winding down the window using the designated handle. Next, remove this handle by simply prising it off. At this point, remove the upper door panel. Once you have removed this panel, you will have access to the door lock. The lock cylinder is secured by a simple brass clip, which you need to remove. Once you have taken off this clip, you can pull the lock out from the outside, then detach the plastic pin, and the disassembly will be complete. To fit the new lock cylinder and close the door, simply reverse these steps, and you will have successfully completed the replacement.
