How to remove this inside panel cover for the hatch? There are no screws or anything? Didn't seem to pry off Either. There is only a single screw underneath The cover under the handle but unscrewed it and it still didn't come off

This is what I'm talking about. The leather latches don't do anything either. I tugged on one and it just popped right out

How cool we have same colour 500L!

OK, your third picture showing the screw - remove this screw.

The panel cover is held in by this screw, 12 black plastic push rivets and two green plastic push rivets. The green ones are attached to the white moulding where the two come together at the bottom of the window

Next grab the handle and pull until you hear and feel the pop of the plastic rivets. It best to pull on the cover so you pop the rivets horizontally across the panel.

I broke 3 black push rivets when removing my panel cover and they are a standard Fiat item used on many models. Part number is 46835626. Sorry but I don't have the number for the two green ones.

To reattach ensure all push rivets are located centred in their position. Push the top two greens followed by the top row of blacks then push in the next row. Once in, push in the lower row.

Insert screw and cover.
