How to Revive the Black Parts of a Lancia Ypsilon

Model: Lancia Ypsilon 843, MK 2, Ypsilon 2, Y2 - Years 2003-2011

Learn how to restore the black colour of the plastic under the windscreen of a Lancia Ypsilon. Remove it using three simple Torx screws, then take out the two rivets. Next, remove the two wipers to take off the piece and work on it comfortably. Be careful of the plastic clips at the front and the water pipe. Now, clean the entire piece thoroughly, then apply a suitable product - which can be obtained for a few pounds from one of the major e-commerce platforms - ensuring it covers every surface well and gets into the crevices. Once dry, refit it by reversing the entire procedure.
