How to Open a Stuck Boot on a Fiat Punto?

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

If the boot of your Fiat Grande Punto is stuck, it’s easy to panic, but you should know that it is possible to open a stuck boot from the outside. To do this, pull the front wiper and the rear wiper, then apply slight pressure outward. Designed as an emergency exit in case of an accident, once you pull the wiper, the tailgate will open without issues. This manoeuvre can be performed multiple times, but we recommend visiting a garage to resolve the problem.
