How to Fix the Rear Lock on the Fiat Grande Punto

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

The failure to open the rear door despite pulling the handle fully is a common fault on this car: to open the door, you must press firmly on it; the cause is due to an elongation of the cable connecting the handle to the lock, which increases its travel; to resolve the issue, you need to remove the lock and then the door panel; at this point, insert a nut with a slot that allows the cable to pass underneath the cable attachment point to shorten it and reduce the travel of the handle to open the lock.
