Welcome to the forum

Car looks sweet if its the one in the picture, I have a 1.2 2000 punto, not as nice as yours but a Fiat none the less! As for the handle thing, I don't think I have that in mine, so my guess is as good as yours im afraid.

Enjoy the forum however, and I hope you find out what it is!

Welcome...!

I think you may have to post a picture. My only thought is that it could be part of the set-up for a third, full (rather than lap only) seatbelt... -- but I've never seen one in the flesh...! :idea:

Ooo is it the part where you actually plonk your bum?

its about 1cm-1.5cm wide - about 2 - 3mm thick

if so - its a lever to allow you to pull the seats up
When i say lever - its nowt special wise

I knew I'd seen a picture of this somewhere. It's both in the handbook, and in the original Punto brochure as an option -- although, I think, fitted as standard to some of the highest-spec models.... :bang:

A picture speaks a thousand words and all that...!









What was the prize...?

Have you actually got the third full seatbelt in the middle; or has someone, at some stage, upgraded your seats, but not the belts...?
