For some reason it won't let me post it in the cabrio thread....

Seems confirmed, Cabbie's don't get them , maybe Fiat forgot to send the parts to Bertone

Isn't that part of the floor covered by the cover over the manual pretensioner? Maybe that's why it's not there.I have just fitted a replacement pretensioner and from looking at the pic there isn't room.

Must be some more differences as the plastic sill covers are different from the hatch as well

I must have a look at the one I bought yesterday, I'm sure there is some way of fitting the cable. Good idea to stop us lifting the boot lid with the key!

I'll have a look at mine tomorrow (providing its not p*ssing down), I recall seeing a cable in the boot when I was rust-roofing the boot floor but it might've just been the cables to drop the rear seats...

Took the cable and lock out of my spare one today, Definitely no hole in the Cabrio to fit the release lever, will find somewhere else to mount it,

As pointed out in Didge's thread, the reason cabrios don't have a boot release is for security so you can leave the roof down and go off into the shops without worrying about any belongings that you can lock in the boot safely, worth bearing in mind if you do fit a release you'll lose that level of security.

I often leave my roof down outside the house on a sunny day, a couple of days ago I left it outside my parents house with the roof down and also nipped into sainsburys without bothering to put the roof up

I am of the belief that if somebody really wants to get in they will. I know it could make it easier for someone, but if carefully positioned it won't be readily visible. May consider a solenoid, then at least it would only work when ignition is on.

:yeahthat: or just don't leave the roof down if there is anything of value in the boot.....

Update us if you do manage to fit it, something I might do in the future too
