Hello, you can rebuild the broken plastic piece using polyvinyl acetate to join them, then on the surface you put a little more of the glue and put baking soda on it, it will dry and it will be like a plastic weld. I have used it to rebuild the handle to open the door from the inside and it has been used for three years without breaking. You can try on different types of plastics before doing it in your car. I hope it helps you.
I have the same problem, I'm waiting for the next video
I just bought a giulietta qv and that cover was broken in the hinge, worst than yours, I could fix it with 24hs epoxy, two components, I reasembled it and works just fine!. Cheers!!
I must admit i fixed keeping mine shut with the screw with works and still opens fine touch wood i do love my A.R.
It breaks because its linked to the vents to make a cool box or hot box. Heating and cooling weakens the brittle plastic and there you go , new one is about 60 squid so I've left mine and blocked the vents to improve the blower.
Yeah it’s quite a flaw. I have the refrigerated glove box, which makes much more sense as it out of the sun too.
Keep all this coming brother I am in London and love my G
Thanks Man.. Appreciate all the feedback. It's been a busy day filming today, so look out for more Videos coming up soon. Hoping you're finding them useful.
try heat plastic wleding. I used that technique with a headlight mounting and works brillant, the result is a weld much better than stock!!
I've got the same problem and the noise it makes vibrating when loose makes it sound like it's coming from the engine! Thinking about getting some mastic and sealing it down.
As I have a guilleta veloce these videos are really useful, have you had problems with the fuel flap broken hinge, it seems to be a flaw with the design.
Great videos keep up the good work.

Hi Steve. Yes absolutely. It will be covered in a video later this year hopefully. MOT first amongst some other priority elements. New video out tomorrow at 10:00 hopefully. Thanks for the comment and hopefully your subscribe to the channel.

You can't help but love Alfa Romeo
www.alfaworkshop.co.uk/Alfa_Giulietta_petrol_flap_release_solenoid_pivot_pin_replacement.shtml This seems to be fixing the wiring too, but the plastic spring clip seems to be the problem. I have to fit one on mine now.
Great video, I have the same annoying problem, I will look at it but I think it should be the same origin. If I find a way to fix this I'll share!
Very common unfortunately. Thanks for watching. Lots more videos on this car, so hopefully you’ve subscribed for more and many more to be filmed soon. Thanks again and all the best.
Superglue and baking soda, or Supafix (same principle). Will turn hard as nails and will hold it together. Scuff plastic first. Held on my G over 3 years now. Was identical to this video. Even does the small catch.
Hi Mike. Maybe I’ll give that a go some time. Thanks for watching and subscribing if you have. Really appreciate it. All the best. 👍
@@vialettotony You may not realise it , but for us giulietta owners, your videos are a godsend!. keep up the great work, we all appreciate it. Maybe a video on what all the engine parts are would be a great insight, sensor locations etc. especially the black box hanging from the turbo intake! cheers.
@@mlambe3359 thank you so much. I really appreciate comments like this. You’re not the first to ask for a video about what’s under the bonnet, and I will get round to it sometime. Priority tasks will take precedence first though unfortunately. Still need to complete all the advisories from the MOT.
thanks again and all the best. 👍
@@vialettotony I totally agree with this guy's comment, I don't usually comment on videos and tend to watch from the side but this is all so helpful, I'll be buying a Giulietta for my first car soon, I don't come from a mechanical/ hands on background, so tutorials like this are amazing
@@harry3837 thank you. Really appreciate that. I enjoy doing this and to get positive feedback is really nice. Good luck with the new car when you get it. Stay safe, and thanks for watching. 👍
Been having a go fixing this. Mine was actually more broken than your one. It was cracked across where Dowl was as well. Should the spring end to bottom piece be held in place or should it be able to move slightly on one that works normally? Does it fit in to a little hole on an unbroken one? Also when someone has fixed it have they glued any part of the spring in?
When I went to put it back together got it all in but then bit of glue I'd fixed started to move again unfortunately when back under spring. Was only popping up a bit. So took it out but when I did that hole where long end of screw went snapped too. So failed like you. Time to give up now glad to have tried. I Found using a small metal washer quite successful at securing bottom piece of plastic back together it fitted perfectly. Also managed to push metal piece out if you pick a bit of glue with screwdriver and then can push it out of where it's stuck. The other metal piece on other hinge comes out by turning with pliers I found
@@cranswil good morning. I feel your pain. I know when I’ve tried to glue and fix things like this before it’s just failed again very quickly hence why I didn’t bother, but good effort for giving it a go. I think there may be some other comments below where people have tried different things.
Have a great day. New video comes out later today 😉.
Hey man how you doing? I'm looking to buy a 2011 giulietta 1750 has 129k km on the clock. Any idea of potential problems has fsh
Hi Michael. Yeah, have a watch of the first video published on the channel. It gives a rundown of the issues on my car, which are fairly common. Hope that helps man. Also with that mileage, I’d check for cam belt, which could need replacing again soon (hopefully it’s been done once already).
Thanks for watching. All the best. 👍
I'm missing the spring. Do you know of any aftermarket alternative?
Hi Gerardo. Many people have sources new units from EBay or similar sites, but I do not know about just the spring on its own I’m afraid.
Sorry I can’t help ☹️
All the best 👍
Hello, Ive got a Giulietta with a buzzing noise at this exact part of the interior, and I'm 99% sure its just a small piece of plastic thats buzzing around. The problem is that I've got a version with the portable TomTom navigation unit. This means that my storage box simply isn't there, so I can't reach those 2 screws. Do you know if there's another way to remove this piece?
Sorry for my English btw, Im Dutch :)
Your English is brilliant and thank you for watching. I’m sure there must be a cover cap or something that will give access to help remove the whole unit. I’ll see if I can find out. All the best.
Hi Thomas I've just bought a Giulietta with a Tom Tom except the Tom Tom does not go past the Alfa logo and I've also got the exact same buzzing sound. Have you managed to sort out the sound.
@@alainbauristhene6427 Yes I did eventually. I found out that the cover right behind the TomTom mount can be removed with force. I grabbed it with a hook at the edges and removed the piece in a whole. It did break the panel so I bought a used one from ebay for 100 euros. You can access the 2 screws there and remove the rest of the panel.
great fix....hahhaah
i managed to glue that little plastic tip back on to let it lock been on 2 years now still going.
Hi Marc. That’s great. One careful owner 😉👍
All the best.
Only just found your channel not looked through them all yet, hopefully you have or will do a vid on fixing that sill area as i have same issue on mine.
@@marcmeredith408 which sill are you referring to ? Sorry if I missed the context here. 😬
Hi Friends ,
Please help me to how i can fix my dashboard Storage
As Showin 00:34 - prnt.sc/Jp48frahg8fz - this part was broken and I've lost that part/
How I find this part or replace or attach part thing to fix that ?
thanks you all
Hi. There are normally part’s available on EBay or similar sites. I know a few people from different forums that have sources them from there. Hope that helps. All the best 👍
@@vialettotony true , but what I found is they sell entire storage unit for around 100e , i just need to fix that little shit to able close it , kindly could you share a link if you know this little piece of thing? 🙏 god bless you
@@NiM44 ah I see. I know people have sometimes put a small screw in to the lid and the head acts as the clip. Obviously it needs to be the same size as the clip. Quite creative and costs nothing more than 1 small screw. I’m not sure you’d be able to buy the clip separately. Hope that helps. All the best 👍
