Fitting the Boot Handle on the Fiat 500

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Part: Rear bench seat

An accessory that may seem insignificant at first glance but can be very useful, especially on the Fiat 500, is the boot handle. Indeed, at the back of the rear seat, to pull it down from the boot, there is only a small strap that is quite impractical because it is small and does not allow for much force to pull down the backrest. However, there is a type of leather strap that allows for a stronger pull and can be easily replaced compared to the existing strap. You can find it on store.blackparts.it, in various car accessories. There are different types starting from £15.00. Alternatively, you can also find them on eBay, also in leather, branded Abarth, for £27.94.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
