had the dash out 4 times now in on the punto, once you've done it once and learn't which bolts are where, its pretty easy, theres A LOT more room a punto to move things around than there are on other cars.
no theres no other way of doing it!
Biggest problem with changing the matrix is ordering the right part! Ended up buying all THREE of them, then just seeing which one would fit.
Mine failed in spectacular fashion, went from 100% OK to spitting scoulding hot water at me within about 5seconds!
VERY VERY nearly started proceedings to take fiat to court over it (yes its an 8yr old car, but when a part fails/wears out you don't expect it to try and scould the flesh from your legs!) But decided it was too much hassle, and I actually was quite lucky not to get burn't. Ended up jumping out of the car (whilst it still moving) in traffic at about 15mph to get away from the spitting hot water. Thankfully didn't get ran over or burnt, but be warned!
IF your matrix starts misting the windows, IMMEDIATLY stop driving the car, and get matrix replaced! mine had no warning, hopefully it won't happen to anybodyon a motorway or I can see somebody being very seriously disfigured.
