Replacing the Door Lock

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

This video shows how to replace the door lock on a Fiat Panda Classic. First, remove the internal armrest of the door, then release the clips that secure the trim. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, extract and detach the lock cylinder and replace it with a new one (the video links to another specific tutorial). A shoelace is used to connect the lock to the door opening mechanism. A waterproof cover will be used to cover the connection just made. After reassembling the trim and the internal panel of the door, test the operation of the lock.
