A zero-cost repair for a part that tends to break easily on the Grande Punto: the internal plate of the demister. All you need to do is carefully dismantle it to recover the broken pieces, re-solder them with a common soldering iron, and put the clips back in place as shown in the video.

Then reattach the cover on the sponge, which would otherwise completely disintegrate. At this point, you just need to see if you can successfully reassemble it. You have salvaged a part without spending anything, and the vehicle is back in shape.

A great success.
