Hello everyone
I read somewhere that some people have had problems with the under steering wheel plastic coming loose.
I own a FIAT 500 e, but likely the same build

It seems I have exactly the same issue and wondering if this can be fixed or the new plastic needs to be purchased ( and where?)

thanks a lot
There are multiple write ups on repairing the plastic piece. You'd have to do a search.

Here's a popular post on our forum showing how our old buddy Tweak fixed his:

The pictures are gone in his post, but in a nutshell he used the caps off of ChapSticks and glued them to the shroud. It takes a little creativity, but it is pretty easy depending on how bad your cover is cracked and broken.
We've had quite a few threads on this, too.

One of my stand offs had just begun to disintegrate so I figured I would reinforce both of them before it was too late. I used the caps from a pair of glue sticks purchased from Wal-Mart. It cost more for the super glue than it did for the 97 cent pack of glue sticks. I had to trim the bottom of the caps a bit since they were a tad too tall. What was left fit almost perfectly over the stand offs.
Let us know how you make out.

I used epoxy and carbon fiber on the two mount towers. Solid as a rock.

Thanks everyone
I did manage with some patience to put some gaskets with Super Attack and back in place with newer and longer screws!
Great stuff
Appreciate a lot!
