Hi all - new owner here having picked up my 06 Multipla on Thursday.

As with any 10-year old car it has a few quirks the dealer obviously didn't sort out before selling, so I'm looking to do that myself.

First and most important issue is the boot. It opens fine, the mechanism is all in there, but I think it's missing the actual handle/button... The working mechanism is kind of hanging loosely in the underside of the boot lid - accessible to squeeze it together and therefore open the boot - but obviously this is tacky and I want a proper handle.

First up, I have no idea where to get one. But perhaps before even that stage, I have no idea what it's supposed to look like either. Are any other owners able to show me what their boot handle looks like? Anyone have one spare I can take to a garage to get fitted?

Thanks all in advance :slayer:

Right, so I've determined I basically just need a rubber housing for the tailgate switch. My local Fiat dealer has quoted me £70... for a piece of sodding rubber...

If anynoe has any ideas as to where else I can find one, I would really appreciate it. Tried the usual online part search sites and eBay with no joy so far.

The used option - try DAM Fiats:

Helpful people who know their Fiats and don't rip you off. Their postage rates are reasonable as well.

If you want to buy new, it might be worth dropping a line to these people on ebay:

They had some tailgate switches listed a while a go. I think they sold out of them though.
