I went in the car wash without removing my aerial today and yes you guess correctly, it bloody snapped off.

How do I remove the interior light on a Punto 60S (the basic one) please so I can get to the fixings.

And what type of aerial do I need to replace.

thanks

I don't think you have to, the aerial fixing can be removed from outside the car. There's a plastic bit on it that prises off to reveal the screw (or might be a bolt, I forget) that holds it on.

If you do need to get the interior light out I believe a scewdriver also does the trick if I remember correctly!

I took the bulb out and a little plastic screw is seen, undid that and still the interior light wouldn't move.

Prise off the screw covers and unscrew the screws I was going to fit a grid of white LEDs in mine where the sunroof switch would be to make the interior light brighter, but decided it'd actually look s***e so didn't do it

Just remembered, that only applies to SX and above. Haven't a clue about the S, sorry!

Sorry then, maybe I was wrong. Might have been the uno where I just levered the whole lot out with a screwdriver!

If it's anything like the Brava aerial I've just replaced you will need something to grip it tightly with and it turns out. If you don't want another Fiat one you can get the little 'bee sting' ones really cheaply from ebay.
