Video tutorial

In this video, see how to open the glove compartment of the Fiat Grande Punto with a broken handle. Unfortunately, this is a common issue: the plastics were not of the highest quality, and these vehicles are now a bit older (and it also depends on how they have been treated).

If the handle has come off and the vehicle registration document or the CID form for reporting a minor incident is stuck inside, you can open it by pressing with a small screwdriver (or your fingertip) on the guillotine lever located at the centre of the compartment, which will open.
