Technical Fiat 500 door handle

[Allgoodal]

Welcome, has the handle come off completely? Or just at the hinge end? If it's just the hinge end it's a less than £10 fix for the diy'er

Hi

This is happened to me and I was thinking of getting a door handle, but I reckon it’s just a hinge on the little screw. Where can I get just the hinge please do you have a link?

Thank you in advance if you can help

Part number: 51964555. Fiat have introduced this part in the event that the just the hinge part of the handle breaks, you can now replace just the hinge rather than buying the whole handle. Fiat 500 models 2008 Onwards.

This should work, put masking tape on door to prevent scratching

Remove door card detaching door handle, not the cables, remove nut holding broken bit, poke screwdriver through hole, remove other broken part, tape on door, open hinge, attach to handle( I use existing plastic bit), there's just enough space to now fold the hinge and pop through to bolt up.
Door card can be difficult to remove

Thank you all for your advice, I have a hinge and mechanic friend who is going to attempt the fitting. Excellent links and advice. Thank you again.

Here is a photo of the door handle that came off and the one I received from ebay


You can see the difference in sizeView attachment 392050

Agree with the others, your part is actually only a part of the unit, the remainder of which is still on your door..

Seriously…, did I really reply to a post from over a year ago?
