Fiat 500 Door Wont Open From Outside

I spent over 1 hour trying to release my wife 2012 fiat 500 truck latch and discovered it should only take 5 min by accident.

Fiat 500 door wont open from outside.

For those with a 500c an inoperable rear defrost and or a roof that won t open to preset positions with a single quick push or a trunk that will not open are signs that the roof needs to be reset. When i get into the passenger side i can use the door handle on the driver s side of the door to open door from the inside. Just happened to me about 10 minutes ago. All you need is a flat head scr.

Video shows how to replace the broken hinge on an exterior 2008 fiat 500. I had to go through the passenger side reach over and open the drivers side door that way. Unlocked car tugged on drivers door handle handle came out like normal but door wouldn t budge. Also there wasn t that detent that i normally feel as the handle releases the door.

I read a post on another fiat forum where this could be something that happens when it becomes very cold outside so going to try again when it warms up in a few days. So i unlock and lock several times no luck. Relocked car honk unlocked tried again.
