Replacing the Seat Back Release Cord on a Fiat Grande Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018

In today's video, you will find instructions on how to disassemble and replace the release cord for the seat back on a Fiat Grande Punto, as well as on other models from the manufacturer. First, remove the side panel of the seat along with the handle for reclining the backrest; then, remove the metal cover and disconnect the cord at the bottom to replace it with the new one. In this case, the operation was simpler as access to the seat frame (without the padding) was possible, facilitating the replacement.
