well this video was better than the others I have seen he is talking slow so all can understand him plus he done it step by step.

[@PhilipDjaferis]

just had this happen to our old Punto; this being the first 'mechanical' issue we've had with it since buying it new in January 2000 I'll excuse it...great video and explanation. thanks!

[@davidmumford9476]

Excellent video, thank you. I just fixed the linkages on my Fiat Punto 2002 model. The linkage broke around Xmas 2015 so I used a tie-wrap as a temporary measure. The tie-wrap lasted 5 months! There was a slight variation on my Punto; there were some rubber straps at either end of the scuttle panel but they unclipped after some 'persuasion'. I do very little DIY on my car and the job took me 1 hr 30 mins - as a guide for others (I took my time)!. Although I do have some mechanical skills. Once again, many thanks.

Works perfectly for a fiat panda too - except the water pipe system is attached to the cowl and there are plastic clips underneath to keep the cowl tight against the windscreen - otherwise it's exactly the same. Brilliant, thanks, that's saved me a huge garage bill!

I thought you did a fabulous video on wiper linkages. Great explanation, superb tone & delivery. I thank you. Mike

Fantastic video, thank you so much. My local garage quoted me $570 for this exact job... I said no.

Great video as always. We'll described and very easy to follow even a layman's could follow this repair. Purchased the same parts from said website. So easy to fit following the great instructions in the pack. Seems the previous mechanic did the same weld-on washer trick. Took my longer to grind them off then it did to fit the linkages. Thanks for a great video once again Craig, top man 👍

Thanks, just did this to my fiat doblo. Ace tutorial, job done in less than an hour. Have a great Easter

Really good step by step. I somehow ended up with the passenger wiper stub lower than it was and so couldn't bolt on the wiper! Yes the plastic cover removal is the most difficult stage.

[@Andraphile]

Excellent video! Clear, well paced speech and clear demonstration made it easy to follow. Thank you.

Hi Craig's , nice video. I fixed the linkage wiper just for a while with elastic and plastic band. I am waiting clips steel to fix it better. I have Fiat Punto 1.2 16V ELX Speedgear CVT. Two weeks ago the repair still work. ...just an option to fix the front wiper linkage when the driver doesen't have tools in the boot. I have video also.

[@kieranmchale7846]

You made this an easy job……which could have taken ages, done in an hour.

[@Michael33342]

Welding the washer is a great idea

[@oldsalty100]

thank u that is just what i needed

[@jeremycubs2921]

My exact situation now, still awaiting for the replacement to come..This failure could've easily avoided if the ball joints were positioned the other way around, but why Fiat didn't do this is beyond me.

[@Gamerj2012]

Fiat punto

[@GlentoranMark]

Googling this problem for my daughters Fiat Panda and the ridiculous prices quoted for a full linkage, I found Craig's solution (thanks for the easy description). I also found another solution here: www.askthemechanic.co.uk/shop/windscreen-wiper-linkage-repair-kits/1-windsreen-wiper-linkage-repair-clip-0722301139585.html. While I haven't fixed the problem, I will be going for the cheaper solution first.
